Autistic people's brain cells develop differently from typical individuals: Study
iPSCs retain the genetic identity of the person from which they came and the cells re-start their development as it would have happened in the womb, providing a window into that person`s brain development.

Scientists discover protective Alzheimer's gene, develop rapid drug-testing platform
The main challenge in testing Alzheimer`s drugs in clinical trials is that participants need to have symptoms. But once people have symptoms, it is usually too late for treatments to have a significant effect, as many brain cells have already died.

Excessive brain cell growth post injury may cause seizures
Researchers found that that within a month after experimental brain injury, the number of new brain cells declined dramatically, below the numbers of new neurons that would have been detected if an injury had not occurred in rats.
