Infant children whose mothers experienced neglect when they were young showed altered brain circuitry in areas associated with anxiety and fear response. Read More
Researchers have identified a pathway involving a protein called Rab35 in glioblastoma brain cancer. The study reports restoring the activity of Rab35 could have therapeutic benefits for those with glioblastoma. Read More
Protein hyper-interleukin-6, a "designer protein" that has to be produced via genetic engineering, enabled a paralyzed mouse to walk again. Read More
20% of glioblastoma brain cancers are fueled by overactive mitochondria. Researchers say these cases may be treatable by drugs currently under trial. Read More
New autism theory is consistent with the current science on the genetics of the disorder but shifts the focus to the positive traits of ASD and historical events that altered the prevalence of autism in society. Read More
A new study adds to the growing body of evidence that the origin of Huntington's disease is rooted in childhood. Researchers say the HTT gene mutation affects both brain and body growth during development, and the increased susceptibility of brain cell death begins early in life. Read More
Using data from RNA sequencing, researchers have identified three molecular subtypes of Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Researchers have created an artificial enzyme that stops alpha-synuclein from spreading. The findings could have positive implications for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Read More
Decreased activation of the LEF1 gene is more common in bipolar patients who do not respond to lithium. Read More
People with one of four genetic disorders express symptoms associated with autism, although they do not meet the criteria for ASD diagnosis. Read More
New studies are set to explore how gene expression alters the brain's response to drug abuse, and to screen for genes that could help brain cells withstand Parkinson's disease. Read More
Researchers reveal the role hundreds of miRNAs appear to play in modulating circadian rhythm. Read More
