Neurogenesis

What research has revealed about Down syndrome’s influence on brain development

Posted on February 13, 2025

A new review paper published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience from Bhattacharyya, associate professor of cell and regenerative biology, pulls together what is currently known about DS’s impact on brain development.

Anita Bhattacharyya, PhD – Slide of the Week

Posted on July 10, 2022

The appearance of cognitive deficits in infancy suggests that alterations emerge during the earliest stages of neural development and continue throughout the lifespan in DS.

Running toward renewal: new study links physical activity with cognitive health

Posted on August 4, 2020

Research has shown voluntary running is an activity most commonly associated with the reversal of negative impacts of aging and neurodegeneration, but little is understood about why that is.

Single brain cells reveal genes controlling formation, development

Posted on March 18, 2016

In one of the first studies to “read” the genetic activity inside individual brain cells, University of Wisconsin—Madison neuroscientist Xinyu Zhao has identified the genetic machinery that causes maturation in a young nerve cell.
