In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic progenitor that gives rise to dopaminergic neurons, the primary neurons affected ...
Study reveals how proteins direct nerve cell precursors to turn into specialized neurons. Brain development is a highly orchestrated process involving numerous parallel and sequential steps. Many of ...
A set of recent research papers proposes that freezing or selectively tuning a small fraction of neurons inside large language models can, in reported benchmark evaluations, reduce unsafe outputs ...
Leuven, 7 August 2024—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 ...
How does mild hypoxia affect preterm babies? New research identifies a molecular mechanism that disrupts hippocampal ...

A baby's neuronal development can be compromised by infections in utero Source: Peter Oslanec/Unsplash It goes without saying that the health of a pregnant mother and the conditions inside the womb ...
Brain functions such as motivated behavior, reward learning and decision making are enabled by inhibitory projection neurons. Researchers now show that the protein MEIS2 plays an essential role in the ...
