  3. The blind Mexican cavefish (Astyanax mexicanus) has adapted to perpetual darkness by losing its eyes and pigmentation, evolving novel neurobehavioral traits such as increased activity in the presence of light, which represents a complete behavioral reversal from its sighted surface relatives.

  5. Neurogenetics is fundamentally relevant to modern biomedical science because it bridges the gap between the static genetic blueprint and the dynamic functionality of the brain. Its most critical application lies in uncovering the precise etiology of neurological and psychiatric disorders, moving beyond symptomatic descriptions to identify core molecular flaws.

  7. Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a prevalent sleep-related disorder characterized by unpleasant sensations and an involuntary, irresistible urge to move the limbs, typically during periods of rest or inactivity.

  9. Fragile X syndrome is a leading genetic cause of intellectual disability and autism triggered by an FMR1 gene mutation. Researchers have recently identified the overactive EPAC2 protein in the brain as a highly viable therapeutic target to reverse the condition's neurological and behavioral symptoms.

  11. A mutation in the grin2a gene impairs the mediodorsal thalamus circuit, disrupting the brain's ability to update established beliefs using new sensory input, a dysfunction directly associated with the cognitive deficits of #schizophrenia

  13. Molecular atlas of the adult Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) brain demonstrates that neurons retain a genetic record of their developmental origins, and that sex-specific behavioral circuits arise from a shared developmental template. Rather than building entirely separate circuits, sexual dimorphism in the brain is achieved through selective neuronal survival within shared cell lineages.

  15. #Neurogenetics and #Insect groups had successfully moved to our shiny new home at Hodgkin Building after 20+ years in Adrian Building, it is hard work for everyone in the group and we are still sorting out things. We however rewarded ourselves with a cake and some nice new group photo! #academicchatter

  20. Here is my first post on Mastadoom.

    Had a fantastic time presenting my PhD research on neurogenetics at the UK Clock Club Meeting! It was a great opportunity to share my work on genetic influences on circadian rhythms and engage in insightful discussions with experts in the field.

    Grateful for the valuable feedback and inspiring conversations—excited to take these ideas forward in my research!
