The overexpression of a gene tied to cell division and the structure and function of neurons may prevent and protect against cognitive decline in both mice and humans with Alzheimer's disease (AD ...

Gene regulation controls gene expression, enabling cells to adapt, differentiate, and maintain homeostasis. Discover the mechanisms, levels, and significance of gene regulation in health and disease.

The hippocampus is an important brain region known to support various cognitive (i.e., mental) processes, including the ...

Neuroscientists say they have found a new function for the SYNGAP1 gene, a DNA sequence that controls memory and learning in mammals, including mice and humans.

Experiments in zebrafish and other models showed that blocking ABHD18 expression reduced the disruptive buildup of monolysocardiolipin in cells.

Dyslexia is a common learning difficulty in which genes often play a role. How do genes associated with dyslexia relate to brain structure in the general population? In a large-scale study ...
