          Iron & the Brain: Where and When Neurodevelopmental Disabilities May Begin During Pregnancy

          Gestational iron deficiency (GID) affects the behavior of embryonic progenitor cells, resulting in the creation of sub-optimal networks of specialized neurons later in life.

          Breast Milk Boosts Premature Babies’ Brain Development

          In babies born preterm, the cerebral cortex, a brain area associated with learning and cognition is often underdeveloped. In preterm babies fed larger quantities of breastmilk, the cerebral cortex resembled those of babies born full term. Researchers say breastfeeding could help to reduce learning and behavioral deficits associated with preterm birth.

          Brain Organoids Provide a Window Into Autism

          Investigating the effects of genetic abnormalities associated with autism and human brain development, researchers found brain organoids engineered to have lower levels of the ASD-associated SHANK3 gene had distinct features including neural firing hyperactivity, disruptions in pathways that cause cells to adhere to each other, and indications of ineffective neurotransmission.
