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

A new study from the University of Haifa suggests that disorders as different as Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, and autism may ...

Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues highlights ...

Deleting a gene called PTEN in certain brain cells disrupts the brain’s fear circuitry and triggers anxiety-like behavior in mice — key traits seen in autism. Researchers mapped how this genetic tweak ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...

A new USC study suggests that gut imbalances in children with autism may create an imbalance of metabolites in the digestive system - ultimately disrupting neurotransmitter production and influencing ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...
