Fruit fly study reveals suppression of a genetic switch boosts long-term memory.
Blood gene expression analysis uncovered a critical gene network that is disrupted in Autism. The disrupted gene network is related to fetal brain development and is also dysregulated in ASD cellular models. The findings provide further evidence that genetic factors influencing brain development during pregnancy are a primary cause of autism spectrum disorder.
A new technique may offer superior predictions for the outcomes of diseases with a genetic component, from Alzheimer's disease to depression.
