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 ...

Cholesterol, a fat-like substance in the body best known for its role in cardiovascular health, also plays a key role in how ...

Duke University Medical Center-led research has identified a human-specific DNA enhancer that regulates neural progenitor proliferation and cortical size. Small genetic changes in HARE5 amplify a key ...

Researchers have created a large, openly available neuroimaging resource from more than 24,000 MRI scans of over 10,000 ...

Uncover the latest and most impactful research in Dopaminergic Neuron Development in Parkinson's Disease. Explore pioneering discoveries, insightful ideas and new methods from leading researchers in ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

The signaling mechanisms underlying the transition from stem cells to olfactory neurons has been described. Cellular differentiation of stem cells into specialized cells requires many steps, including ...
