• Blocking cell distress signals can ease autism symptoms

  Autism Speaks announced a study supported by one of Autism Speaks' first Suzanne and Bob Wright Trailblazer Awards, presents a new theory that autism may result from chronic danger signaling by mitochondria, cell structures that supply our cells with energy. This study by Trailblazer researcher and more

• Large international study finds memory in adults impacted by versions of 4 genes

  Two research studies, co-led by UC Davis neurologist Charles DeCarli and conducted by an international team that included more than 80 scientists at 71 institutions in eight countries, has advanced understanding of the genetic components of Alzheimer's disease and of brain development. Both studies more

• Partnership of genes affects the brain's development
  

  The human brain consists of approximately one hundred billion nerve cells. Each of these cells needs to connect to specific other cells during the brain's development in order to form a fully functional organism. Yet how does a nerve cell know where it should grow and which cells to contact? Scienti more

• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in paediatric psychoneuroendocrinology: a new frontier for understanding the impact of hormones on emotion and cognition

  Abstract Mounting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) research is characterising the neurobiological trajectories of healthy human brain development. In parallel, studies increasingly acknowledge the relevance of perturbations of these trajectories for adolescent and adult psychopathology. While an more

• Delay and Impairment in Brain Development and Function in Rat Offspring After Maternal Exposure to Methylmercury

  Maternal exposure to the neurotoxin methylmercury (MeHg) has been shown to have adverse effects on neural development of the offspring in man. Little is known about the underlying mechanisms by which MeHg affects the developing brain. To explore the neurodevelopmental defects and the underlying mec more

• The Developmental Brain Gene NPAS3 Contains the Largest Number of Accelerated Regulatory Sequences in the Human Genome

  To identify the evolutionary genetic novelties that contributed to shape human-specific traits such as the use of a complex language, long-term planning and exceptional learning abilities is one of the ultimate frontiers of modern biology. Evolutionary signatures of functional shifts could be detec more
