Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...
Major depression is not only a crisis of mood, it is also a crisis of biology that reshapes the brain itself. As genetic tools sharpen, scientists are now tracing how inherited risk for depression is ...
New research indicates that the structural organization of the human brain does not develop in a continuous, linear fashion but rather progresses through five distinct phases separated by specific ...
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...
The development of many psychiatric disorders, including depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, is known to be in great part influenced by genetics. Past research has identified various genes ...
