Scientists have shown that females with traits of neurodevelopmental disabilities are more likely to suffer from premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), but how this affects their adjustment in high ...

The study used large-scale CRISPR gene-editing technology to systematically determine which genes are required as embryonic ...

Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDs) are types of disorders that influence how the brain functions and alter neurological development, causing difficulties in social, cognitive, and emotional ...

By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

For babies born with alternative hemiplegia of childhood (AHC), an extremely rare and severe neurodevelopmental disorder, there may be no obvious symptoms for several months. Then the attacks begin: ...

Pathologic changes of the X-chromosome gene for dystrophin give rise to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and dystrophin -- which minimizes muscle fiber loss due to sarcolemma contraction damage when ...

For decades, the study of genetic disease was focused on genes that code for protein. But scientists have now identified a novel neurodevelopmental disorder that is caused by mutations in a gene that ...

Scientists have discovered 15 additional genetic mutations in the KCNK9 gene that cause a neurodevelopmental syndrome. Symptoms of the disorder range from speech and motor impairment to behavioral ...

A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...

Did you know that your posture might reveal insights into your brain's development? Recent research has uncovered a surprising link between physical posture, specifically an anterior pelvic tilt, and ...
