Across 17 autism mouse models, gene activity in the prefrontal cortex fell into two opposing patterns, suggesting diverse genetic variants may converge on a small number of biological states. By @giorgiag-sciwriter.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/spectrum/aut...

A new study shows that mouse cortical organoids can look much like the developing brain overall, yet individual stem-cell lineages lose some of their normal timing—an important caveat for organoid research. #neuroskyence By @giorgiag-sciwriter.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/neurodevelop...

A gene’s position inside the nucleus may help determine whether it stays silent or switches on during brain development, new research suggests. By @giorgiag-sciwriter.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/spectrum/nuc...

🧠 Mitochondria may do far more than power our cells: they might also help brain cells communicate, support memory & shape behaviour. ⚡ FRONTIERS fellow Giorgia Guglielmi unpacks the science in The Transmitter, in a story sparked by her #FRONTIERSresidency at ISTA, a year ago. 🔗 bit.ly/4eO2X3w

Emerging evidence suggests that the cell’s powerhouses do more than supply energy to the brain. Mitochondria may help synapses communicate, shape memory and even influence behavior. By @giorgiag-sciwriter.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/mitochondria...
