Scientists have discovered three genes to be master regulators that reshape gene activity across the developing Down syndrome brain. By tracing how these regulators disrupt networks tied to learning ...

Summary: Rett syndrome is primarily understood as a neuronal disorder, but new evidence suggests that the “plumbing” of the brain may be just as important as its wiring. A landmark study reveals that ...

A MENTALLY demanding task can unravel brain connectivity differences in people with chronic fatigue syndrome and long COVID, according to a new study. Researchers found distinct disruptions in how key ...

Abstract: The Functional Connectivity (FC) assesses the functional relationships between different brain regions. Interhemispheric FC is assumed to be specifically supported by the corpus callosum (CC ...

In this photo provided by El Salvador's presidential press office, a prison guard transfers deportees from the U.S., alleged to be Venezuelan gang members, to the Terrorism Confinement Center in ...

In findings that raise a variety of questions about how our brains work, and even about the nature of consciousness, UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators report that only a small section of ...

A missing brain molecule may be disrupting neural wiring in Down syndrome, according to new research. Replacing it in adult mice rewired brain circuits and improved brain flexibility, challenging the ...

Jimmy Kimmel slammed Donald Trump during his Monday night broadcast of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” for saying Rob Reiner died “due to the anger he caused others” through his “Trump derangement syndrome.” ...

Children with fragile X syndrome display widespread differences in brain morphology, including larger gray matter volume in subcortical regions and distinct brain-behavior correlations. Children with ...

Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a class of covalently closed, non-coding RNAs, have recently emerged as crucial regulators of gene expression. They exert their roles through microRNA (miRNA) sponging, ...
