Researchers identified a rare genetic mutation in two schizophrenia patients that increased schizophrenia-related behaviors in mice.
A genetic mutation found in two human patients with schizophrenia also increased schizophrenia-related behaviors in mice with ...
Researchers at the University of Illinois have found a direct link between a genetic mutation and schizophrenia. The ...
Neurogeneticists have discovered a novel genetic mutation and associated buildup of toxic proteins in the brain -- a type of buildup distinct from amyloid or tau, proteins that have long been the ...
The mutation increases levels of glycine decarboxylase, or GLDC, an enzyme responsible for regulating glycine in the brain. Glycine activates receptors for the neurotransmitter glutamate ...
A 75-year-old man with a genetic predisposition for Alzheimer’s has yet to show signs of the disease. Could this offer ...
Scientists have uncovered how mutations in the MeCP2 gene lead to Rett syndrome, a devastating neurological disorder. By ...
In females, on the other hand, the mechanism that regulates energy within the cell is impaired, preventing the brain from ...
Addressing the harmful chemical processes that accompany blunt force trauma to the brain can reduce the risk of long-term ...
In a lab at Rockefeller University in New York, a mouse squeaks. But this is no ordinary squeak. It is a strange, complex ...
