Researchers Compile an “Atlas” of Gene Expression in Neurons to Show the Variety of Brain Cells
By classifying more than 250,000 neurons in fruit fly brains using gene sequencing and machine learning, researchers at New York University have built a “developmental…
Researchers Have Identified What Causes Brain Cells to Develop in a Particular Order
The full set of ten parameters, including the sequence in which these neurons mature, that control the different types of brain cells in the visual…
How the “Little Brain’s” Dopamine Signals Increase Sociability
Before Jeremy Schmahmann and Janet Sherman of Harvard’s Massachusetts General Hospital published a paradigm-shifting paper in the journal Brain in 1998, the majority of neuroscientists…
Pregnancy Drinking alters the structure of the Baby’s Brain
A meta-analysis of multiple studies examining how women’s drinking patterns during pregnancy can affect the development of their children was published in Clinical and Experimental…
Effective early Treatment for Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Neurodevelopmental disorders are defined by a set of symptoms that are caused by differences in a child’s brain and nervous system. While other mental health…
ADHD Gene Activity Patterns
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a behavioral disorder that typically begins in childhood and is characterized by a short attention span (inattention), an inability to be…
Autism Research is looking for Disrupted Brain Signals
Many theories about the causes of autism and other autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have been proposed, but an understanding of the theory of autism and…
How Herpes Integrates itself into Neurological System Over Time
Close contact allows Herpes simplex viruses to spread from person to person. Touching a herpes sore can transmit the herpes simplex virus. Most people, however,…
Discovered are Neural Mechanisms that aid in Learning of Maternal Behavior
The changing developmental needs of offspring, as well as a wide range of environmental factors, shape and challenge maternal behavior, with evidence indicating that the…
Researchers Create a Substance that Mimics the way the Brain Stores Data
Researchers at the Universitat Autnoma de Barcelona (UAB) have created a magnetic material that can mimic the way the brain stores information. The material allows…
