Connective Tissue & the Brain
Connective tissue is a fibrous cell-sparse network that helps to connect, support, bind, and separate neighboring tissues from one another. It exists in and around every organ of the body. […]

Though humans don’t have the largest and most complex brains of the mammals (those distinctions go to the sperm whale and the elephant, respectively), the complexity of our language and […]
What is a microexon? The explanation may be slightly complex for those not familiar with the basics of genetics, so I’ll review a bit. First off, a gene is a […]
For as popular as the study of synapses and Shank3 have been in autism research, we are still fairly ignorant as to the roles this gene’s products might play in […]
Although it’s well known that neurogenesis or the production of new neurons occurs throughout the lifespan, there are only a few select areas of the brain that continue to do […]
My last few blog posts on Science Over a Cuppa have focused on some of our recent genomics work involving neuronal immaturity in autism [1, 2]. Specifically, I’ve talked about […]
A few weeks ago I summarized the findings of our latest study in Frontiers. Unfortunately, I gather as there was almost no interest in the blog that I did a […]
Just this month we published our latest manuscript in the journal, Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, titled, “Genetics studies indicate that neural induction and early neuronal maturation are disturbed in autism.” […]
Okay, I’ll admit, the study of neurite (i.e., axon and dendrite) formation isn’t my area of expertise. My background is more in neuropathology and genetics. But I had been working […]
