One of the symptoms of schizophrenia is difficulty incorporating new information about the world. This can lead patients to struggle with making decisions and, eventually, to lose touch with reality.

Animals that dwell at high altitudes have adapted to cope with low oxygen levels, a condition that damages a vital part of nerve cells ...

A genetic mutation tied to keeping the brain healthy at high altitudes may point to a way to repair nerve damage, experiments in mice show.

A genetic mutation that helps animals like yaks and Tibetan antelopes survive at high altitudes may hold the key to repairing ...

Scientists identify a high-altitude genetic mutation in yaks that produces ATDR, a Vitamin A metabolite that repairs myelin damage in MS and cerebral paralysis.

Rutgers-Newark researchers have shown that a genetic variant specific to African ancestry alters the brain in a way that could foretell the eventual development of Alzheimer's Disease. At the same ...
