By showcasing first-hand accounts from neurodivergent scientists, eLife’s ‘Being Neurodivergent in Academia’ highlights ways that research could become more neuroinclusive.
Researchers have shed light on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of KCNQ2 encephalopathy, a rare, early-onset form of epilepsy that causes seizures and developmental delays.
Researchers have explored how communication pathways between the hippocampus and the occipital lobe in the brain relate to difficulties in recalling personal memories in people with aphantasia.
Researchers have characterised changes in the structure of motor proteins, called myosins, and energy consumption that occur during hibernation, highlighting key differences in large and small hibernators.
Researchers have used neuroimaging analyses to provide evidence for functional compensation in the brains of healthy older adults during a problem-solving task.
A study suggests that a pain relief drug that can quickly and reversibly induce a sleep-like state in cells and organs could facilitate organ transplantation and prevent irreversible tissue injury.
