“Neurocognitive attributes, such as decision-making, mediate thought-behavior relationships and may predispose individuals with suicide ideation to act on their thoughts and attempt suicide,” Shuang Liu, MS, PhD, of the Academy of Medical Engineering and Translational Medicine at Tianjin University in China, and colleagues wrote.
