Brain growth and maturation doesn't progress in a linear, stepwise fashion. Instead, it's a dynamic, choreographed sequence that shifts in response to genetics and external stimuli like sight and ...

The deoxyuridine 5′-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase, dUTPase, is important during DNA replication and repair, ensuring the fidelity of DNA synthesis and the maintenance of genome stability. By its ...

Cambridge researchers have revealed a detailed picture of how the human brain grows from mid-pregnancy through the first weeks after birth and identified that sex differences in brain growth are ...

All experiments were approved by the ethical committee of the University of Salamanca and the “Consejería de Agricultura, Ganadería y Desarrollo Rural” of Castilla y León, adhering to European ...

A newly published study in Protein and Cell identifies glutamine synthetase, an enzyme concentrated in brain support cells called astrocytes, as a stage-specific driver of cortical circuit assembly ...

Can exposure to a common pesticide during pregnancy leave a long–term mark on children's brains? A new study examined the ...

Researchers discover that diverse genetic causes of autism converge on shared cell types and temporary maturation delays during early brain development.
