by University of North Carolina Health Care Scientists at the UNC School of Medicine and colleagues created a new computational tool called H-MAGMA to study the genetic underpinnings of nine brain disorders, including the identification of new genes associated with each disorder. The research, published in Nature Neuroscience, revealed that genes associated with psychiatric disorders...

Head injuries can alter hundreds of genes and lead to serious brain diseases
Examples of gene networks in the hippocampus affected by brain trauma. UCLA researchers report that the “master regulator” genes (in red) influence many other genes responsible for the effects of brain trauma. Head injuries can harm hundreds of genes in the brain in a way that increases people’s risk for a wide range of neurological...
