Mental illness suspect genes are among the most environmentally responsive. For the first time, scientists have tracked the activity, across...
Researchers have identified the first gene mutation associated with a chronic and often fatal form of neuroblastoma that typically strikes...
New research suggests environmental exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical commonly found in plastics and resins, could suppress a gene critical to nerve cell function and the development of the central nervous system. Exposure to BPA could predispose humans to a number of neurodevelopmental and other health disorders.
The alteration of the TTC9B and HP1BP3 genes, detected by a blood test during pregnancy, predicted the onset of postpartum depression with 85% accuracy in a small study.
Researchers have shown stress on preadolesecent and adult male mice induced an epigenetic mark in their sperm which reprogrammed their offspring's HPA axis, a region the the brain which governs stress response.
New technology can rapidly halt or start the expression of genes by shining a light on the cells.
Variations in brain and song structure in zebra finches is strongly influenced by environment, a new study suggests.
New research could help explain how some cases of ASD can result from environmental influences rather than genetic mutations.
A new study reports people with more Alzheimer's related neuropathology in their brains had higher levels of DNA modifications within the ANK1 gene.
Researchers discover why certain glioblastoma brain tumors are resistant to drugs.
A new study adds to the developing evidence of the role genetics plays in some cases of PTSD.
The offspring of mice treated with new drug showed delayed onset and reduced symptoms associated with Huntington's disease, researchers report.
