Can vitamin B6 reduce the symptoms of PMS? Vitamin B6 may be helpful for premenstrual syndrome (PMS), but scientists aren't sure. Some research shows that taking vitamin B6 supplements (about 80 mg a day) might reduce PMS symptoms including moodiness, irritability, forgetfulness, bloating, and anxiety. But more research is needed to confirm these findings. In addition, it's important to know that taking too much vitamin B6 in supplement form––more than 100 mg per day for adults––can cause severe...

An update on genetic frontotemporal dementia,AbstractFrontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a highly heritable group of neurodegenerative disorders, with around 30% of patients having a strong family history. The majority of that heritability is accounted for by autosomal dominant mutations in the chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9orf72), progranulin (GRN), and microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) genes, with mutations more rarely seen in a number of other genes. This review will discuss the recent...

Intellectual Humility and Owning One's LimitationsAbstractIntellectual humility is a worthwhile virtue. Whitcomb et al. (Philos Phenomenol Res 94(3):520, 2017) recently propose a novel account of intellectual humility. According to this account, intellectual humility consists of proper attentiveness to and owning of one's intellectual limitations. We argue that this account is in accordance with empirical work on intellectual humility, but it has two problems. It leaves open the possibility that...
