A group of 20 patients with undiagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders ranging from severe to mild has now received a genetic diagnosis thanks to an international team of researchers at the GREGoR ...

Researchers have identified how variations in a gene called TRIO can influence brain functions and result in distinct neurodevelopmental diseases. The study, published in the journal eLife, could pave ...

Jane, Julie, and Jemma are 6-year-old classmates. The three girls show several similarities in behaviour and cognition. All three struggle with starting new tasks, task-switching, sustaining attention ...

Bipolar disorder impairs cognition, damages the brain, and leads to dementia—or does it? New research flips the story.
