A landmark research paper for the first time maps the genetics of how individual regions of the brain age—and why some of those regions are the very ones most ravaged by Alzheimer's and dementia.

Many psychiatric disorders are more biologically related than previously understood, having more genetic similarities than differences, a new study shows. More research is needed to understand how ...

New findings will help to identify the genetic causes of brain disorders: researchers at the Universities of Basel, Bonn and Cologne have presented a systematic catalog of specific variable locations ...

A genetic mutation tied to keeping the brain healthy at high altitudes may point to a way to repair nerve damage, experiments in mice show.

A new study found that eating more meat was linked to better cognitive outcomes in people with a genetic risk for Alzheimer’s ...

Researchers analyze 2.2 million genomes to show that addiction risk is primarily driven by broad genes affecting brain wiring and impulse control, not drug-specific traits.

A new study has brought scientists one step further in the direction of developing a cure for a brutal group of rare brain disorders known as SYNGAP1-related disorders, or SRDs. Researchers were able ...
