No two brains are the same. This is well known in life and science, but why brains develop divergently in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a mystery that persists in neurobiology research. Many ...

Huda Zoghbi is a clinician-scientist who studies the molecular mechanisms of neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration. This year she shared the Kavli Prize in Neuroscience for discovering the genetic ...

Despite previous concerns, new research finds little evidence of a direct causal link between maternal coffee consumption and childhood developmental challenges. Study: Mendelian Randomization ...

In a recent study published in the journal Neuropharmacology, researchers in Pisa, Italy, explored how gut microbiota can influence neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the ability of neuronal circuits ...

A process as intricate as brain development requires precisely controlled expression of crucial genes, but it’s the different flavors of a protein, or isoforms, that the genes encode that do the heavy ...

Paris: Neurogenesis, or the development of neural cells from stem cells, begins in the foetus at 5 weeks gestation and is nearly complete by 28 weeks. It is a complicated process with intricate ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists has identified a specific stage of neurodevelopment when differentiating neural cells produce fewer ribosomes, which are responsible for making ...

Children may be more likely to be diagnosed with autism and other neurodevelopment disorders if their mother had a Covid-19 infection while pregnant, according to a new study. Researchers from ...
