"This is because different cell types repair DNA damage, such as the cuts made by Cas9, in completely distinct ways." The authors reasoned that the unique DNA repair toolkit of neurons might change ...

A study found that stimulating a specific inhibitory brain cell restored normal brain activity and improved movement in ...

Researchers identified VIP inhibitory neurons in Huntington’s disease and used optogenetics to restore motor neuron activity in mice.

A team at Johns Hopkins University has identified a small, evolutionarily ancient group of inhibitory neurons in the ...

Huntington's disease is a devastating brain disorder in which decaying nerve cells lead to progressively worsening cognitive ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by researchers in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory ...

A new study in Nature Communications could influence how gene therapies are designed for many genetic diseases. Pictured: Gokul Ramadoss, the first author, is a PhD candidate in Bruce Conklin's lab at ...

Most of the tasks that humans complete daily entail carefully coordinating movements and tracking progress made toward a ...

Optogenetic activation of silent VIP inhibitory neurons restores learning and motor function in Huntington's disease models.
