Regulation of gene expression is an important process for proper development. XER81 is a gene that codes for a member of a family of transcription factors, proteins that control gene expression.

Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...

How does our brain, which is capable of generating complex thoughts, actions and even self-reflection, grow out of essentially nothing? An experiment in tadpoles, in which an electronic implant was ...

Talk about thinking small: researchers at Harvard University have devised a new way to implant flexible bioelectronic devices in the embryos of frogs, mice, and lizards, enabling them to monitor brain ...

A new study on the frog brain may lead to innovative ways of repairing congenital disabilities in humans. A team of researchers from Tufts University, Universitat de Valencia, and Harvard University ...
