Fetal brain development can be negatively impacted by an infection that occurs in utero, and the resulting maternal inflammation. Indeed, an illness in a mother is associated with an increased risk of ...

Taste, like other senses, is mediated by finely tuned circuits of neurons. These circuits are formed during embryonic development, when many extra neuronal synapses that will not exist in the fully ...

Research shows male microglia are more sensitive to disrupted CSF1R signaling, uncovering potential links to sex-based disparities in neurological disorders. Study: The microglial response to ...

Study results corroborate our recently published data demonstrating the critical role of microglial-driven inflammation in promoting accumulation and spread of toxic phosphorylated alpha-synuclein ...
