Cells have surface receptors that couple with proteins and other molecules to initiate or inhibit certain behaviors. Typically, the number of these receptors increases as the cell matures, but ...

New findings on how neurons find their targets during development provide a potential step forward for understanding how to ...

In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic progenitor that gives rise to dopaminergic neurons, the primary neurons affected ...

The mechanisms underlying intellectual disabilities or autism remain largely unknown. Researchers in the labs of Prof. Pierre Vanderhaeghen and Prof. Vincent Bonin at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for ...

A new discovery by neuroscientists at Brown University's Carney Institute for Brain Science challenges long-held beliefs in ...

A new study in zebrafish reveals that the gene nexmifb—a paralog of the human neurodevelopmental gene NEXMIF—plays a critical role in spinal motor neuron development by modulating the axon guidance ...

UCLA researchers created a single-cell map of the developing human neocortex in Down syndrome during a critical window of prenatal brain development, finding that the condition alters the ...

MedPAC's chair defended its $76 billion Medicare Advantage estimate at an insurer event. What the fight could mean for Part B premiums. Kennedy Disclosure Shows $4 Million in Book Advances From ...

Dopaminergic neurons arise from progenitor cells in the ventral midbrain under the coordinated influence of morphogens such as Sonic Hedgehog, Wnt and FGF, and the action of transcription factors ...
