A gene previously linked to intellectual disability has been found to regulate learning and memory in mice. A gene previously linked to intellectual disability has been found to regulate learning and ...
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and collaborators at the University of Bristol, KU Leuven, and the NIHR BioResource, have identified a neurodevelopmental disorder, caused ...
The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, layered structure. Its proper development requires newly generated neurons to ...
For years, anecdotal evidence and old wives' tales suggested various origins for intelligence, but what does modern science actually say? Get ready to put those family debates to rest, because we're ...
Almost 1,500 genes have been implicated in intellectual disabilities; yet for most people with such disabilities, genetic causes remain unknown. Perhaps this is in part because geneticists have been ...
New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during ...
The human brain's remarkably prolonged development is unique among mammals and is thought to contribute to our advanced learning abilities. Disruptions in this process may explain certain ...
Parents’ genes – even when not directly inherited by a child – may play a role in their educational and mental health outcomes, finds a new report by UCL researchers. The report, Understanding the ...
The mechanisms underlying intellectual disabilities or autism remain largely unknown. Researchers in the labs of Prof. Pierre Vanderhaeghen and Prof. Vincent Bonin at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for ...
