NEAT1, a noncoding RNA appears to play a significant role in memory formation.
Researchers in China successfully used CRISPR gene editing to produce five monkey clones from the fibroblasts of a donor monkey with disease phenotypes.
Study reports a mutation in a single gene that causes hereditary frontotemporal dementia makes it harder for neurons to communicate, leading to neurodegeneration.
A new study reports researchers have developed a new gene editing approach that may provide a new treatment avenue for Huntington's disease.
A new study reveals mosquitoes can learn to associate a particular odor to an unpleasant shock, much like being swatted. Researchers report the insects tend to avoid the scent following the experience.
Researchers have generated motor neurons from people with familial ALS who carry FUS mutations.
A new study sheds light on the mechanisms of gyrus formation.
Using CRISPR gene editing technology, researchers target the Shank3 gene in monkey embryos. Research backs previous findings of the importance of the Shank3 gene for brain development and its role in autism.
A new study reveals the role circular RNA plays in brain function, including synaptic transmission and sensorimotor gating.
CRISPR gene editing has allowed researchers to prevent angiogenesis of the retina occurring in mice. Researchers say the new technology could help prevent vision loss in those with retinal diseases.
CRISPR technology allows researchers to illuminate and monitor alpha synuclein in the brain.
Researchers discover a mechanism that may underpin the progression of glioblastoma brain cancer development.
