Massively parallel assessment of gene regulatory activity at human cortical-structure-associated variants

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Wednesday, September 23, 2026 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 23 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02454-2A large-scale functional screen identified noncoding variants that regulate gene activity during human brain development, providing insights into the molecular mechanisms that...

Tibial bone compression promotes recovery after brain injury through osteocyte PIEZO1

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Monday, September 21, 2026 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 21 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02422-wMechanical loading of the tibia improves survival and recovery after brain surgery in mice and pigs. This bone–brain axis is mediated by osteocyte PIEZO1, which triggers the...

Two parallel neural ectoderm progenitors contribute to the developing brain

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Friday, September 18, 2026 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 18 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02433-7This study shows that the brain arises from two distinct progenitors: one forms the forebrain and midbrain, whereas the other generates the hindbrain. These insights enable the...

Serotonin neurons in the dorsal raphe control food-craving-like behavior during pregnancy in mice

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Friday, September 18, 2026 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 18 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02445-3Zhao, Feng, Dong and colleagues found that pregnant mice crave highly palatable foods due to SK3-mediated inhibition of 5-HT neurons in DRN. Reactivating serotonergic DRN→VTA...
