When the gene was disabled in tiny nematode worms, their nerve cells literally broke.   view more (2007-01-30)

Mutation in brain cells of descendants of Abraham Lincoln suggest he suffered from movement disorder
Researchers at Johns Hopkins and the University of Minnesota have discovered a gene mutation in the descendants of Abraham Lincoln's grandparents that suggests the Civil War president himself might have also suffered from a disease that destroys nerve cells in the cerebellum- the part of the brain... view more (2006-02-03)
