Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have published an atlas of zebrafish development, detailing the gene expression programs that are activated within nearly every cell type during the ...

A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...

Animal embryos go through a series of characteristic developmental stages on their journey from a fertilized egg cell to a functional organism. This biological process is largely genetically ...

The decades-old anesthetic ketamine could be a game changer for treating severe depression, but there are still many questions about how the drug works, including exactly how it affects the brain's ...
