A rare genetic mutation has been associated with pain insensitivity. The findings could further research into new treatments to target pain.
Researchers have created an organoid of the thalamus, which they have fused with an organoid of the frontal cortex in order to study ASD, depression and other neuropsychiatric conditions.
Researchers have identified a specific mechanism involved in how females inherit traits. The findings could help reduce susceptibility to Fragile X and Rett syndrome, the researchers report.
Researchers have successfully created a new map of the brain's immune system in both mice and humans. The findings suggest microglia all have the same core signatures, but can act differently, depending on their function. The map also details how the brain's immune system changes as multiple sclerosis progresses.
Researchers have identified and isolated a gut bacterium which appears to have a significant link to depression.
A new study reports teenage binge drinking can result in lasting epigenetic changes that alter the expression of BDNF-AS, a protein vital for the formation of neural connection in the amygdala.
Researchers report alterations in RNA editing play a vital role in autism spectrum disorder.
Researchers have identified the gene STMN2 as a novel biomarker and potential drug target for ALS.
A new study reports herpes virus utilizes ancient RNA to proliferate, mimicking the same process tumors have been found to manipulate. The findings could have implications for new treatment options and also may shed light on neurodegenerative diseases.
Researchers have developed an innovative approach to identifying novel cellular targets and pathways involved in wiring adult born neurons into existing brain circuits.
Researchers report inosine could be a potential route to the first RNA and the origin to life on Earth.
A new study sheds light into the function of microglia and inflammatory response.
