Is Athleticism Linked to Brain Size?
Research shows that exercise-loving mice have larger midbrains.
Protein Involved in DNA Replication, Centrosome Regulation Linked to Dwarfism, Small Brain Size
Research just published by scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) links gene mutations found in some patients with Meier-Gorlin syndrome (MGS) with specific cellular dysfunctions that are thought to give rise to a particularly extreme version of dwarfism, small brain size, and other manifestations of abnormal growth which generally characterize that rare condition.
Study Finds New Gene Mutations that Lead to Enlarged Brain Size, Cancer, Autism, Epilepsy
Researchers shed light on molecular cause of childhood’s worst conditions as first step toward developing more effective treatments.
Zebrafish Study Isolates Gene Related to Autism, Schizophrenia and Obesity
What can a fish tell us about human brain development? Researchers at Duke University Medical Center transplanted a set of human genes into a zebrafish and then used it to identify genes responsible for head size at birth. Researchers at Duke University Medical Center transplanted a set of human genes into a zebrafish and then [...]
