"A couple of years ago when we started to perform head-fixed chronic recordings in developing mice for another project, we recognized that activity within layer 2/3 of the medial prefrontal cortex ...

A brain structure called the amygdala, and its connections with another region, the prefrontal cortex, shape people’s experiences and social interactions. The discovery of a key molecular mechanism ...

This schematic outlines their analytical framework. The approach involves creating a validated developmental atlas of the dorsal prefrontal cortex from structural connectivity, then using these ...

A UCLA-led study has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin - DNA and proteins - plays a critical role.

Scientists profiling small non-coding RNAs in postmortem brain tissue from people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have identified sweeping molecular disruptions that extend well beyond the ...

During adolescence, the teen brain goes through dramatic changes which scientists are just beginning to better understand. For parents, teachers, and anyone who cares for a teenager—it is often ...
