A new study of autism risk genes by UC San Francisco and UC Berkeley scientists implicates disruption in prenatal neurogenesis - a process in which specialized "progenitor" cells give rise to new ...
Separate research groups have reported new insights into the process of neurogenesis during development and adulthood, respectively. Their papers appeared in the July 6, 2021, online issue of Cell ...
The controversial discovery that our brains can generate new neurons surprisingly late in life is now prompting a rethink of ...
Adult neurogenesis is how the adult brain produces new neurons. The newborn cells divide, migrate to specific brain regions ...
New research in male rats suggests that the timing and duration of testosterone exposure may influence whether newly born ...
The thalamus integrates sensory, motor and associative functions through distinct nuclei, yet the developmental principles driving their specification remain unclear. Here we generate a spatiotemporal ...
Before a person is even born, the brain has undergone intense expansion and growth in its complexity. This dramatic development continues into the first years of childhood. After an early boom period, ...
A 2026 mini review concludes that microglial metabolic states may connect brain pathology with adult neurogenic niche ...
Brains devastated by Alzheimer’s disease (AD) can be “rejuvenated” by restoring the expression of a microRNA molecule, report scientists based at the Leuven Brain Institute and the Netherlands ...
