A team of researchers from Tohoku University, the National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry, and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University has uncovered a novel molecular mechanism through which ...

During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular switch" involving the protein Teneurin 4 (Ten4). This protein can guide ...

A new study reveals how transposable elements (TEs) expanded gene regulation during brain evolution, shaping modern neural ...

A signaling pathway best known for shaping the brain before birth also helps govern how adults learn, adapt, and persist in their behavior, according to new research co-led by Andreas H. Kottmann, ...

SCDIRB copy 39088019634765 not included in the Bibliotheca Beckwithiana (unpublished). SCDIRB copy has bookplate: Smithsonian Libraries: The Beckwith-Browning-Peterson Teratology Collection. SCDIRB ...

A study has found that primary cilia differ across brain regions and may locally produce proteins, challenging long-standing ...

A receptor long known for guiding brain development before birth also shapes how adults learn, determining how strongly the brain locks in behavior and how readily it lets go. Researchers at the City ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create 'programmable' cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting ...
