Sex-based brain differences: Structure of a single neuron in C. elegans provides new insights
Is there a difference in brain structure between men and women? If we were to find such a difference in a single neuron, would it matter? One of the most useful models for studying these questions is ...
When a neuron in our body gets damaged, segments of RNA produce proteins that can help repair the injury. But in neurological disorders such as ALS and spinal muscular atrophy, or following spinal ...
