Microbes found in the placenta may play a key role in shaping the developing fetal immune system.
Several variants of the PIK3CA gene drive brain tumor progression. Two of the variants alter the expression of genes involved in synapses.
Researchers have identified a group of glucose-sensing neurons in the ventrolateral area of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus and discovered how they work together to prevent hypoglycemia in mice.
Altered behaviors associated with LSD may be caused by a reduction in the normal communication between the hippocampus and visual cortex.
In the wake of the school shooting in Uvalde, psychologists report on the best way to address such tragedies to young children and explore how to help teachers and those directly affected by the events.
Islets of Langerhans in overnourished infant mice showed epigenetic profiles resembling those of much older mice.
A set of neurons in the basal forebrain may drive aversions to certain foods.
Researchers have identified a new role for the cerebellum. Rather than just helping to control muscle activity, the cerebellum may also play a critical role in cognitive functions.
Researchers investigate why it is so hard for us to retain information given to us in confidence.
Researchers have identified 216 new gene variants that appear to play a role in the development of late-onset Alzheimer's disease.
In mouse models of neurodevelopmental disorders, researchers found social deficits were mediated by microbes in the gut. By contrast, hyperactivity is controlled by genetics. Treatment with a specific microbe helped improve social behavior.
Researchers discuss how to accommodate family members with dementia over the holidays to make Christmas a meaningful and joyous event for the entire family.
