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

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 ...

The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Different parts of the brain perform a variety of functions, all of which are necessary for it to operate in one way or another. These functions ...

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 ...

A team of researchers from the Institute for Neurosciences, a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Miguel Hernández University (UMH) of Elche, in collaboration with ...

Electrical signals from the brain could help identify potential issues in the organ's development, a new study reports. Researchers hope that their study will enable better tracking of infants' ...
