Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...

A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and ...

By analyzing over 213,000 developing human brain cells, researchers show that many autism risk genes act through the ECM.

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

A shared molecular signature of Alzheimer’s appears across populations once studied in isolation. Alzheimer's disease (AD) ...

The human brain remains one of the most complex and least understood organs, but recent breakthroughs in genetic research have unveiled startling insights into how genes shape brain structure and ...

Researchers uncover how the fruitless gene steers brain development and social feeding behavior in male honeybees.

Human brain cells, classified into different groups according to gene expression (each color represents a group), are mapped back to their original locations in the human brain. A detailed analysis of ...

Scientists are closing in on the brain’s internal circuitry for hunger, revealing a surprisingly precise “off switch” that ...

Maternal genetics have an outsized role to play, as they shape body's response to stress, ability to fight with infections ...
