A study of brain development in mice shortly after birth may provide insights into how early life events can affect wiring patterns in the brain that manifest as disease later in life.

It has been found that people with specific genetic traits and traumatic childhood experiences are more likely to suffer from adult obesity, as a new study links social health determinants, genetics and disease.

Salk Institute researchers have developed a new genomic technology to simultaneously analyze the DNA, RNA and chromatin—a combination of DNA and protein—from a single cell.

A new study has shown that 1% of older people in indigenous Amazon groups have dementia, compared to 11% of Americans of the same age.

According to a study, stress seems to have a negative effect on the learning of movements in mice.

A team of researchers discovered the circadian clock plays a significant role in protecting eyes from retinal degeneration.

A single transcription factor, DLX2, has been shown to reprogram astrocyte brain cells into neural stem-like cells, potentially leading to a way of regenerating brain tissue following disease or injury.

The low carbohydrate, high fat ketogenic diet has been shown to improve fatigue, depression and quality of life scores in people with multiple sclerosis.

According to new research led by scientists at University of Utah Health, each parent has their own impact on hormones and other chemical messengers that control mood and behavior.

Astrocytes form large networks of interconnected cells in the central nervous system. When these cell-to-cell couplings are disrupted in the brain of adult mice, the animals are no longer able to store spatial information.
