Converting skin cell samples into neurons helps researchers gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of Huntington's disease.
A new study reports that abnormalities in the SOD1 protein are a common factor in all types of motor neuron diseases.
Gene expression in male and female brains becomes more similar due to age, and both sexes contribute to the pattern. If the expression of a gene is higher in younger female brains it tends to be lower in younger male brains. Due to age, the gene expression reduces in females and increases in males, and vice versa.
Addiction may not always be a fixed personality or genetic trait, instead the result of our plastic brains learning the effect of drugs on our individual responses and the environmental setting in which the substance is used.
A study of combo jellies reveals the type of messenger that likely functioned in the ancestral nervous system.

Accelerated biological and epigenetic aging was associated with lower odds of older women living to the age of 90 and beyond.
Genetic variants of the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor may explain why some respond to psychedelic therapies for the treatment of mental health disorders while others don't.
The discovery of new genetic signatures associated with age-related macular degeneration may lead to better diagnosis and treatment of the currently incurable vision disorder.
Members of the British military who witnessed nuclear test programs in the 1950s and 60s are no more likely to pass on genetic alterations to their offspring and future generations than other members of the military, a new study reports.
