Using cortical organoids from individuals with autism, researchers tracked gene activity over development. Early ...

Some lucky people have rare genetic mutations that enable them to feel well-rested after just four hours of sleep, while the rest of us need around eight hours to function. Now, researchers have ...

UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder affect early brain development, providing new insights ...

Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child's first steps to recovery after ...

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. A team led by scientists at the German research ...

A mitochondrial DNA mutation passed down through the maternal line in some Venezuelan families has been linked to severe ...

Patients with CaV2.1 channelopathies face severe and often debilitating symptoms, such as seizures, migraines, tremors, and ...

Researchers identified a new genetic mutation that may allow some people to survive, even thrive, on three hours of sleep. The mutation is called SIK3-N783Y. Scientists said mice test subjects ...
