X-tra effects: Brain regions with an overly large influence of the X chromosome (yellow) support functions such as attention, decision-making as well as sensory and motor skills. The X chromosome has a more than expected genetic influence on the structure of several brain regions, a new study shows. The X-linked genes that may underlie this […]
This is the seventh contribution in the “Know your Author” series. At the same time, when I talked about why I chose to blog, I was confused about which niche to choose. Since I was in my early motherhood, I thought this would be the perfect one. Read more about how other parent bloggers influence […]

New neighbors: transplanted immature inhibitory cells (red) surround a mature neuron (dark gray); the new cells appear to prevent signal imbalance in mice lacking a copy of the autism-related FOXG1 gene. Mice lacking a copy of the autism-related gene FOXG1 in the brain have atypical social behavior and an imbalance in excitatory and inhibitory signals, […]
