Somatic awareness, a condition previously believed to be of psychological origin, is connected to a common genetic variant. The mutation leads to the malfunctioning of an enzyme critical for serotonin production.
Based on new findings, researchers say bone marrow transplants may be an effective treatment for ALS.
Researchers have identified 16 DNA regions associated with epilepsy. Eleven of the regions are newly identified.
According to a new study, the proteome undergoes extensive changes during aging.
Researchers report humans have a surprisingly high number of genes in which one of two copies has been randomly silenced.
High concentrations of phytonutrients from apples stimulate neurogenesis and could help boost brain function.
A new study investigates the effect of musical performance on the gene expression of professional musicians and finds enhanced activity in motor function, memory and learning.

FOXO3, a gene linked to longevity in humans, protects neural stem cells from the negative effects of stress.
Researchers identified a novel, direct link between autism and the SUV39H2 gene.
Researchers use gene editing to generate aggressive glioblastoma multiforme brain tumors in the lab. The model, researchers say, could be used to track the progression of tumors and develop personalized therapies for patients.
Cardiovascular problems can alter gene activity in the hippocampus, increasing the risk for cognitive decline and memory deficits, a new study reports.
