A collaborative effort has shed valuable light on how monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and now histamine help regulate brain physiology and behavior through chemical bonding of ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

Buried in DNA once written off as “background noise”, a tiny non-coding gene has been tied to a surprisingly common childhood brain disorder. Could this hidden culprit finally give thousands of UK ...
