Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...
To stay in balance, the brain depends on two types of neurons: Excitatory neurons (in white), which increase activity, and inhibitory neurons (in black), which damp down signals. Scientists have now ...
New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during the earliest stages of human brain development. The study is published in ...
The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by researchers in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory ...
New research from Michigan State University finds that microbes play an important role in shaping early brain development, specifically in a key brain region that controls stress, social behavior, and ...
A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and intellectual disability may influence early brain development. Their work helps ...
MSU researchers discovered that microbes begin shaping the brain while still in the womb, influencing neurons in a region critical for stress and social behavior. Their findings suggest modern birth ...
