New research demonstrates how defects in an important neurological pathway in early development may be responsible for the onset of schizophrenia later in life.
Researchers studying the cause of A-T disease believe their findings could provide new clues to understanding neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
U-M scientists stop abnormal brain cell growth in mice with neurofibromatosis using experimental tumor drug, make new discoveries in neural stem cells.
Researchers use optogenetics to change alcohol drinking behavior in rodents.
Researchers identify a protein trafficking defect within brain cells that may underlie common non-familial forms of Parkinson’s disease. The study implicates two genetic variants that disrupt protein sorting in neurons.
