GW Institute for Neuroscience
Researchers from the GW Institute for Neuroscience published a new study in Neuron, which provides the first evidence showing that individual nerve cells fail to make the right number of connections. The reason for this deficit is limited growth of key nerve cells in the cerebral cortex during…
