Scientists have uncovered the intricate circuit cues behind neuronal cell maturation and migration, which is required for proper cognitive function. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a ...

This diagram shows that dopamine regulates neuron specification, suggesting its role in modulating neural circuits during development, potentially contributing to autism spectrum disorder–related ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital used fluorescent imaging techniques to track the sequence of molecular events that kickstart the migration of developing neurons, implicating an ...

The focus of my laboratory has been the study of migrating cells, both normal and abnormal, in the developing brain. This endeavor has utilized the chick embryo as the model system and recombinant ...

A new study shows that prenatal disruption of the endocannabinoid system can have long-lasting effects on brain structure and ...

Recent evidence suggests that dopamine plays a crucial role in neural development. In a novel study, investigators demonstrated the link between disrupted developmental dopamine signaling and autism ...
