Researchers discovered that the brains of developing frog embryos damaged by nicotine exposure can be repaired by treatment with certain drugs -- ionoceuticals -- that drive the recovery of ...

Scientists led by biologists at Tufts University say they have discovered that the brains of developing frog embryos damaged by nicotine exposure can be repaired by treatment with “ionoceuticals” that ...

Nov. 22 (UPI) --Most frogs lay dozens of eggs and leave. The tadpoles-to-be are on their own from the start. In a new study, scientists examined why some frog moms stick around to help raise their ...

Kenneth B. Storey receives funding from the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), grant number RGPIN-2020-04733. Aline Ingelson-Filpula and Mackenzie Parent do not work ...

In growing brains, billions of nerve cells must make trillions of precise connections. As they snake through the brain, nerve cell tendrils called axons use the brain’s stiffness to guide them on ...

A new study of autism risk genes by UC San Francisco and UC Berkeley scientists implicates disruption in prenatal neurogenesis - a process in which specialized "progenitor" cells give rise to new ...
