Two rare genetic variants on the NOTCH3 and TREM2 genes have been identified in some Alzheimer's patients. Read More
Nineteen gene sets have been identified that contribute to at least five psychiatric disorders. The gene sets were associated with ADHD, ASD, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia. Read More
Human embryonic stem cell therapy is being tried on a human for the first time in a new clinical trial.... Read More
Researchers have identified genetic mutations they believe are responsible for midline craniosynostosis. Read More
Researchers demonstrate they can reverse some autism symptoms in mice by turning the Shank3 gene on later in life, allowing the brain to correctly rewire itself. Read More
Researchers have developed a new technique to label and view neural stem cells in eggs without harming the cells. Read More
Researchers have identified a mechanoreceptor protein which mediates the sense of touch in mammals. Read More
The results of a Phase 1 clinical trial involving stem cells from a patient's own bone marrow used to treat traumatic brain injury in children show that the procedure is safe. Read More
Researchers have identified 216 new gene variants that appear to play a role in the development of late-onset Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Researchers discover TUBB5 mutations could be responsible for impaired mental function in children with intellectual disabilities. Read More
New research proposes that academic performance of adolescents is linked to specific dopamine gene variations. Researchers also suggest a correlation exists between the variants of dopaminergic genes a student possesses and performance in specific subject areas. Read More
Researchers report more than 1000 people have had their entire genetic make-up decoded as part of a long-term study to gain insight into why some people’s brains age better than others. Read More
