Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Different parts of the brain perform a variety of functions, all of ...

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have linked genetic variants to neuropsychiatric disorders, but their regulatory roles in non-coding regions remain largely unclear. Using the LUHMES neuronal ...

TalTech scientists in collaboration with researchers from Rockefeller University have described a mechanism that acts like a ...

In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted manner. Despite decades of research, how synapses form during brain development ...

A new study unveils how the lack of a fraction of the CPEB4 protein causes a decrease in the expression of genes that are crucial for neuronal development. A study by IRB Barcelona unveils how the ...

Electrical signals from the brain could help identify potential issues in the organ's development, a new study reports.

Researchers at University of Tsukuba and affiliated institutes have developed a publicly accessible single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) atlas that captures developmental and neurogenic processes in ...

New study by Chiba University, Japan in collaboration with Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, uncovers novel enhancer-promoter interactions that regulate gene expression during neuronal differentiation ...
