Fixing one overactive gene in the amygdala pulled anxious, withdrawn mice back to normal

Neuroscience

The autism study leaned on 20 mouse models, brain scans from 940 young people, and 1,000 neurotypical controls

Neuroscience

Scientists split autism into two biological types by how the brain wires its connections

By BeckhamLangford

Neuroscience

Scientists erased anxiety in mice by tuning a single gene in one cluster of amygdala neurons, then watched normal social behavior return

By BeckhamLangford

Neuroscience

Scientists found autism may split into at least two biologically distinct subtypes, each marked by a different pattern of brain communication

By BeckhamLangford

Neuroscience

Brain scans showed recalling a fact and reliving a memory light up nearly identical networks, a surprise to researchers who expected clear differences

By BeckhamLangford

Neuroscience

Mice engineered to overproduce Grik4 became visibly anxious and socially withdrawn; restoring the gene’s expression flipped both deficits back

By BeckhamLangford

Neuroscience

Restoring communication between basolateral and centrolateral amygdala neurons was enough to reverse anxiety in mice, per a new iScience study
