A study by the Institute for Neurosciences identifies a key brain circuit for spatial memory

The study, published in Cell Reports, describes how a connection between the hippocampal hemispheres is essential for spatial navigation and memory-based decision-making. The results show that this connection is altered in a genetic disease model associated with schizophrenia, which could help to understand the origin of cognitive deficits.

Researchers discover how the interaction of two “epigenetic guardians” protects neuronal identity

Researchers discover how the interaction of two “epigenetic guardians” protects neuronal identity This study shows that the enzymes KDM1A and KDM5C collaborate to prevent neurons from activating inappropriate genes, ensuring their proper function. The findings, published in Cell Reports, open new avenues to understand the origin of neurological disorders associated with mutations in these genes, […]
