Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a previously unrecognized mechanism by which inherited calcium channel mutations disrupt early brain development and predispose children to epilepsy and related cognitive challenges. The findings, published in […]
For the millions of people who carry the gene APOE4, the strongest known genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, their brain activity may begin changing long before any memory problems appear. Now, researchers at Gladstone […]
The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Different parts of the brain perform a variety of functions, all of which are necessary for it to operate in one way or another. […]
Researchers have demonstrated a new class of low-cost, scalable sensors that can be used to monitor electrical activity in human cerebral organoids. Because electrical signals are key to understanding brain function, this advancement facilitates research […]
Latin American people are represented in fewer than 4% of genetic epidemiological studies around the world. When they are included, they’re often lumped together as one group, despite the rich diversity among different Latin American […]
Psychiatric disorders, such as bipolar disorder (BD), major depressive disorder (MDD), schizophrenia and anxiety disorders, adversely affect the daily functioning and well-being of millions of people worldwide. Understanding the neural and genetic underpinnings of these […]
Researchers at the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute have demonstrated that combining data from different origins enables a more precise characterization of cell type’s diversity into tissues and organs. The team also introduced scOMM, a […]
New twin research shows that innate IQ plays a major role in predicting your future socioeconomic status. The study, which follows twins during the crucial early adult years, reinforces the view that heredity and genes […]
Project MinE, an international consortium co-founded by researchers at King’s College London, has identified new genetic variants that play a role in the development of motor neuron disease (MND). These findings mean that a genetic […]
A collaborative research study co-led by scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Liber Institute for Brain Development has for the first time identified a biological process that may help […]
