Sep 30th 2024, 16:05

Scientists debut START, a new tool for mapping the brain's intricate neuronal connections with unparalleled precision. They demonstrate START's ability to identify the connectivity patterns of transcriptomic neuronal subtypes, and explain how the tool will help us design novel therapeutics that target certain neurons and circuits with greater specificity, efficacy, and fewer side effects.

Sep 27th 2024, 17:36

A groundbreaking study has shed light on the critical role of a tRNA methylation enzyme, TRMT10A, in supporting brain function. The findings reveal how the absence of TRMT10A leads to a reduction in specific transfer RNA (tRNA) levels, disrupting protein synthesis in the brain and impairing synaptic structure and function.

Sep 26th 2024, 13:20

How did the bodies of animals, including ours, become such fine-tuned movement machines? This paper cuts directly into critical debates about how the ancient spinal cord and the relatively new human brain interact to produce smooth movements and how some neurological conditions disrupt this fine balance and produce slow, inaccurate, jerky, etc. movements in neurological conditions. It adds to the thought leadership about the processing of sensory information and control of reflexes during voluntary movements -- with implications as to how its disruption could give rise to motor disorders in neurological conditions like stroke, cerebral palsy, and Parkinson's disease.
