Deletion of mini-exon B in the synaptic adhesion molecule PTPδ leads to altered neural connectivity from the entorhinal cortex to the dentate gyrus (left panel). In mice lacking mini-exon B, ...

Researchers around the world are studying how the human brain achieves its extraordinary complexity. A team at the Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim and the German Primate Center—Leibniz ...

Scientists may be one step closer to a new therapy that could 'fix' the faulty genes at play in people with brain disorders such as autism and epilepsy. About a million people worldwide are thought to ...

In a breakthrough study, scientists have transferred a courtship behavior from one species to another, triggering the recipient to perform this completely foreign act as if it was its own. While genes ...

Researchers in Japan have genetically transferred a unique courtship behavior from one fruit fly species to another. By turning on a single gene in insulin-producing neurons, the team successfully ...

A new study reveals how cocaine use alters brain circuits tied to memory and reward, leaving the brain more vulnerable to relapse.

A large MRI study of over 3,500 children identified three biologically distinct ADHD biotypes using brain network modeling and AI clustering. Each subtype showed unique brain patterns, genetic risks, ...

A newly discovered biological chain reaction explains how high levels of a common brain chemical can lead to cellular ...

Researchers discovered a protein that acts as a molecular switch driving cocaine addiction by altering gene activity in a ...

A new study suggests that the Agouti gene in the brains of male African striped mice can act as a molecular "switch," making ...
