Researchers have identified mutations in a number of genes which could be associated with the development of spontaneously occurring cases of ALS, a progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disease in which motor neurons gradually cease to function.
Researchers discover link between an inability for neurons to repair DNA and neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS.
Researchers identify a drug which could improve treatment for people with PTSD.
Researchers report they have used an anti cancer drug to improve mental function in mice with genetic changes similar to those found in Kabuki syndrome.
According to a new study, researchers have successfully profiled key features of genetic materials inside three types of neurons.
Researchers have succeeded in inducing one species of flatworm to grow heads and brains characteristic of another species of flatworm without altering genomic sequence.
Researchers have mapped the reorganization of genetic material that takes place when a stem cell matures into a nerve cell.
Researchers report sticking to a very low carb diet could potentially help to improve mental function in those with Kabuki syndrome, a rare, inherited disease.
Researchers have identified the activity of a genetic network that responds to social stress in mice.
Researchers report they are able to see alterations in gene expression up to two hours after a stickleback fish interacts with an intruder. They speculate the changes in gene expression and chromatin modification could help set up the brain to respond to future threats. The study appears in PLOS Genetics.
Researchers have identified a link between sleep duration in men and the chromosomal health of their sperm.
According to researchers, treatment that target chromatin remodelers may provide new avenues of treatment for Fragile X Syndrome and other autism spectrum disorders.
