An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Emmerson lab within the Institute for Regeneration and Repair at the University of Edinburgh. This three year, BBSRC-funded postdoctoral research associa...

We are looking for a postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the Rajani Lab as part of the new national BHF-UK DRI Centre for Vascular Dementia Research.

Intertidal organisms, such as the crustaceans Eurydice pulchra and Parhyale hawaiensis, express daily and tidal rhythms of physiology and behavior to …

Noel et al. show aberrant updating of expectations in three distinct mouse models of autism spectrum disorder. Brain-wide neurophysiology data suggest this stems from excess units encoding deviations ...

Employing pharmacology, genetics and all-optical approaches in zebrafish, Braaker et al. find that neuronal activity influences the growth of myelin sheaths along axons by signaling through metabotrop...

Loss of FMRP impairs human and rat oligodendrocyte (OL) morphology in vitro. FMRP-deficient OLs show impaired maturation when engrafted in hypomyelinated mice. Rat Fmr1 knockout OLs show a delay in m...

The high prevalence and high rank for non-fatal health burden of autism spectrum disorder in people younger than 20 years underscore the importance of early detection and support to autistic young people and their caregivers globally. Work to improve the precision and global representation of our findings is required, starting with better global coverage of epidemiological data so that geographical variations can be better ascertained. The work presented here can guide future research efforts, and importantly, decisions concerning allocation of health services that better address the needs of all autistic individuals.

Remyelination can restore neural function. Here, the authors characterize the drivers and limits of endogenous remyelination and explore a therapy that rescued remyelination deficits and accelerated n...

The underrepresentation of functional glial cells is a major challenge in brain organoid models. We developed an astroglia-enriched cortical organoid model that allows efficient generation of function...

Myelination facilitates the rapid conduction of action potentials along axons. In the central nervous system (CNS), myelinated axons vary over 100-fold in diameter, with conduction speed scaling linea...
