Wiring up the brain’s trillions of circuit connections is an enormous job performed by a huge crew of molecules. Among the less understood members are circular RNAs, transcripts from DNA that assume a ...

Variants in a gene, DIXDC1, have been found to impair the development of neural connectivity. The variants, which appear to contribute to autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), code for proteins that are ...

Washington: The scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively builds dense new clusters of synapses in specific parts of ...
