NG2-glia, a newly discovered type of brain cell that can renew itself is regulated by circadian rhythms. The findings shed new light on how the body's circadian clock can promote healing following a traumatic brain injury.
Stress, anxiety, and depression during pregnancy were associated with altered key features in fetal brain development, resulting in decreased cognitive offspring in a child at 18 months of age.
Stress, anxiety, and depression in pregnant women is associated with social and behavioral problems in their offspring. Neuroimaging reveals fetuses whose mothers were anxious had weaker connectivity between brain areas associated with executive and cognitive function.
A new COVID-19 study reveals children with coronavirus, even those who are asymptomatic, can shed the virus for up to three weeks following infection.
Glioblastoma brain cancer originates from a pool of stem cells that can be a significant distance away from where the tumor eventually forms.
Tamapin, an investigational drug derived from Indian red scorpion venom, reverses motor deficits in pre-clinical models of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.
Maternal stress and anxiety alter the structure and biochemistry of the developing fetal brain.
Stress and anxiety during pregnancy are associated with impaired fetal cerebellar and hippocampal development in children with congenital heart disease.
When the hormone allopregnanolone (ALLO) abruptly decreases or stops during pregnancy, children are more likely to develop autism. Researchers report a single ALLO injection during pregnancy can avert the brain abnormalities and social behaviors associated with ASD in experimental mouse models of autism.
