Genetic analysis of Wiedemann-Steiner Syndrome patients revealed that a variety of changes in one gene (MLL1) causes the disease. Researchers of the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich and ...

The activity of Snhg11, a gene found in the 'dark matter' of the genome, is critical for the function and formation of neurons in the hippocampus, specifically in an area critical for learning and ...

A machine learning model was more effective at detecting congenital long QT syndrome on resting ECGs than manual measurement of QT intervals by arrhythmia experts, in a new study. Researchers ...

How might disruption of a single gene in the brain cause the severe cognitive deficits associated with Angelman syndrome, a neurogenetic disorder? Researchers now believe they have the answer: ...

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) reveal that the Snhg11 gene is critical for the function and formation of neurons in the hippocampus. Experiments with mice and human tissues ...

A growing body of research has linked sleep with improved learning and memory consolidation in both children and adults. Yet, a new study done at the University of Arizona shows that napping may not ...

Down’s syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra chromosome in a baby’s cells. The condition is typically diagnosed at birth and can go on to cause learning disabilities for ...
