Researchers discover a link between the orbitofrontal cortex and learning and behavioral deficits in mice with a gene associated with mental illness.
Researchers have found full genome sequencing by examining the entire DNA code of individuals with ASD and their families. The findings look at the wide range of genetic factors associated with ASD.
A new study suggests the rate of regional brain loss and cognitive decline caused by early stages of Alzheimer's disease is higher in women and those with a genetic risk factor for AD.
Researchers discover four new potential biomarkers which characterize non-genetic ALS. The findings could provide new directions for diagnostics and treatment of ALS.
Researchers discover an enhanced expression of the CRF-1 gene the ovum of rats exposed to stress prior to conceiving. Additionally, enhanced expression of the gene was noted in newborn rats whose mothers were exposed to stress.
A new study uncovers dynamic changes in the epigenome which occur during brain development.
Researchers find a single gene which encodes two separate proteins from the same sequence of messenger RNA. The finding could provide new strategies for treating SCA6.
Researchers pinpoint the role of the Arl13b gene in the formation and proper placement of neurons during brain development.
Researchers discover increased expression of the Scara1 protein could impede the progression of Alzheimer's disease as it plays an important role in the removal of amyloid beta from the brain.
Researchers report RORA, a novel candidate gene for autism, regulates a large number of other genes associated with ASD.
Researchers identify neuronal circuits in the spinal cord of mice which control the ability to produce alternating movements of the legs during walking.
Using sophisticated imaging techniques, researchers observe a molecular protein folding process which could help better understand and treat neurodegenerative diseases and cancers.
