| Microglial methylation 'landscape' in human brain Posted: 28 Dec 2021 10:58 AM PST Recent studies have shown variation in the gene-expression profile and phenotype of microglia across brain regions and between different age and disease states. But the molecular mechanisms that contribute to these transcriptomic changes in the human brain are not well understood. Now, a new study targets the methylation profile of microglia from human brain. |
| Is energy the key to Alzheimer’s disease? Posted: 27 Dec 2021 12:44 PM PST A team of researchers has found a link between the way that cells produce energy for brain function and the mutated genes found in Alzheimer's disease. |
| Posted: 23 Dec 2021 07:54 PM PST Scientists investigating the DNA outside our genes - the 'dark genome' - have discovered recently evolved regions that code for proteins associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. |

| White matter microstructure reveals developmental risk for psychosis Posted: 22 Dec 2021 07:49 AM PST Brain imaging studies have shown structural and functional abnormalities in people with psychosis in the connections between the cortex and the thalamus, the major waystation for incoming sensory information and a critical regulator of cortical activity. A new study shows that those differences are not present during development, but that the integrity of the connections is compromised in youth with psychosis spectrum symptoms. |
