In Portland, Oregon, doctors are testing an experimental device that can unclog clots, much like a corkscrew uncorks a bottle of wine. Doctors thread a little tube from the groin into the brain. Then they push the wire out and it starts to corkscrew. The coils lodge in the clot so doctors can then ease it out like a cork. The corkscrew device is still experimental and it needs more testing, before it can get FDA approval.

The study was done in part by the National Institutes of Health where researchers say they're hopeful that this discovery could be the tip of the iceberg in understanding the genetic root of psychiatric illnesses.
