St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital scientists have identified a small RNA (microRNA) that may be essential to restoring normal function in a brain circuit associated with the “voices” and other hallucinations of schizophrenia. The microRNA provides a possible focus for antipsychotic drug development. The findings appear today in the journal Nature Medicine.

A multi-institutional group of researchers, led by investigators at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and the University of Michigan, have identified a simple and inexpensive tool for assessing the prognosis of pediatric brain tumors called ependymomas. Their study, which demonstrates the epigenetic mechanism behind these tumors, may offer future opportunities for novel therapeutic options.

El trastorno por déficit de atención / hiperactividad (TDAH) es el trastorno del desarrollo neurológico infantil más común, y los varones tienen entre dos y tres veces más probabilidades de desarrollar TDAH. El síndrome de ovario poliquístico materno (PCOS), un trastorno metabólico común asociado al exceso de andrógenos circulantes, se ha asociado con un mayor riesgo de trastorno del espectro autista en la descendencia. En este estudio, se pretende investigar si el PCOS materno aumenta el riesgo de TDAH en la descendencia.
