The study found that distortion of radial glial fibers leads to aberrant neuron localization and formation of periventricular nodular heterotopia (PNH), a brain abnormality in thanatophoric dysplasia. This discovery paves the way for developing therapy using animal models with brain architecture similar to humans.
Researchers at Kanazawa University discovered that sulforaphane can lower body weight gain rates and reduce visceral fat. The compound also improves energy consumption and fat burning, likely due to its effects on the gut microbiome.
Researchers used magnetoencephalography to discover that brain activity in both the child and mother is low during gazing, but increases with parental responses. This study provides new insights into social interactions and child development for children with autism spectrum disorder.
