Researchers are now looking at whether to catch yawns from other people is a born ability, with the hope of h

32、elping treat some mental health disorders.People with some mental illnesses are reportedly less able to catch yawns, researchers said, so understanding the genes(基因) that are connected with contagious yawning could open new paths for treatment.In the study, 328 participants were shown a three-minute
