A cellular-resolution map of prenatal brain development in Down syndrome reveals disrupted neuron production timing and altered cell types.

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 ...

Scientists at UCLA have created one of the first cellular-resolution molecular maps detailing how Down syndrome alters human brain development before birth—a resource that resolves longstanding ...

Leuven, 7 August 2024—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 ...

A baby's neuronal development can be compromised by infections in utero Source: Peter Oslanec/Unsplash It goes without saying that the health of a pregnant mother and the conditions inside the womb ...

This is a useful study that seeks to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying spinal motor circuit assembly. The authors demonstrate that loss of Onecut transcription factors in spinal motor ...

Researchers in Japan and the U.S. have demonstrated that living neurons can be trained to process information, while investors are mapping a broader brain-computer interface (BCI) ecosystem beyond ...
