According to a new study, researchers have devised a new way to detect chemical damage to DNA that leads to genetic mutations which are responsible for an array of diseases, including ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Galanin expressing neurons are selectively active during rebound sleep. The expression of galanin increases after neuronal activity and sleep deprivation. The neuropeptide plays a critical role in sleep homeostasis.
A large-scale study identified rare genetic variations associated with both severe and less severe forms of epilepsy.
Researchers discover that a genetic mutation which arose over half a million years ago could be key to humans' ability to understand and produce speech.
Karolinska Institute researchers report over-expression of the estrogen receptor causes neuroblastoma cells to mature into neuron-like cells.
Researchers have identified more than 40 common genes in cancer and autism disorders.
A new study reports TGF-beta acts as a time signal which regulates neural stem cells' potential at different stages of brain development.
A new study outlines the mechanism involved in remyelination.
Researchers have developed a new approach that uses microRNA in combination with chemotherapy to help treat glioblastoma brain cancer. In preclinical models, the approach increases survival of the deadly brain cancer five fold.
Researchers have been able to partially restore hearing in mouse models of an inherited form of progressive human deafness with the help of a small molecule based drug.
Researchers have identified a new genetic mutation for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), opening the door to future targeted therapies.
Using CRISPR techniques, researchers have uncovered a genetic network linked to autism.
