We are building scalable, long-term capabilities that serve multiple high-growth segments at once, said Pratik Kamdar, Co-founder & CEO, Neuron Energy, in an interview with Abha Rustagi, Associate ...

Human brain immune cells known as microglia can take four to eight years to mature, a process that lasts only about three ...

Neurodevelopmental conditions, which include autism spectrum disorders, ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), and ...

Salk scientists discover how severe illness during pregnancy alters fetal epigenomes, increasing the risk for autism and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Scientists discovered that human microglia, immune cells that help shape developing brain circuits, can take four to eight years to mature instead of just weeks as they do in mice. The unusually slow ...

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 ...

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.

A new study in zebrafish reveals that the gene nexmifb—a paralog of the human neurodevelopmental gene NEXMIF—plays a critical role in spinal motor neuron development by modulating the axon guidance ...

During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular switch" involving the protein Teneurin 4 (Ten4). This protein can guide ...

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 ...

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 ...
