A team of researchers from Tohoku University, the National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry, and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University has uncovered a novel molecular mechanism through which ...

In an article published in Nature, researchers from Karolinska Institutet present an atlas of the early development of the brain. The atlas can be used, among other things, to find out what went wrong ...

One hypothesis for how autism develops is excessive neuron production in the prenatal period, leading to a transient but significant increase in brain size in the first few years of life in about ...

The study used large-scale CRISPR gene-editing technology to systematically determine which genes are required as embryonic stem cells develop into brain cells.

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In a new study published today in Nature Neuroscience, researchers led by ...

During pregnancy, as a mother’s body nurtures new life, her health shapes the baby’s development. Shifts in maternal health can trickle to the fetus, leaving lasting effects on the baby’s long-term ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...
