Molecular psych' - Two-faced neurons, autism/schizophrenia

Post Reply New Topic

"Published in July in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, the study found that two chemical markers, which were once thought to mark neurons with opposite roles, are sometimes found in the same neuron. Neurons with both of these markers, researchers found, frequently activate, or "express" genes related to the production of cellular energy using oxygen."

I found this article super interesting & I thought I would share.
