A new study has found that a "silent" chromosome in women could be aiding their brain's cognitive abilities ... in 20-month-old genetically modified female mice, which are the equivalent of ...

“Aging had awakened the sleeping X,” Dubal said. Researchers believe this could be an explanation for how the human female brain reacts to aging. “We immediately thought this might explain ...

Look at one and then the other. Can you tell which brain is female and which is male? You can't. Humanity has been hunting for sex-based differences in the brain since at least the time of the ...

The reason female brains have less cognitive aging may be due to the reawakening of the dormant X chromosome late in life, which turns on genes that help sustain healthy brain cell connections.

Based on a survey of 3,000 women distributed by the New York Chapter of the National Organisation for Women (the feminist group co-founded by Betty Friedan), more than 75% of the book comprises ...

In a surprise, work in mice has found that the dormant X chromosome in females can reawaken late in life and turn on genes that keep the brain healthy. UCSF researchers may have discovered how the ...

These cells often deteriorate during aging. Image credit: Gadek et al., Science Advances UCSF researchers may have discovered how the female brain remains resilient in aging, answering an age-old ...

UCSF researchers may have discovered how the female brain remains resilient in aging, answering an age-old question of how most women outlive men and retain their cognitive abilities longer. Females ...

In a surprising discovery, UCSF researchers found that the silent X chromosome in female mice reawakens late in life, boosting brain health. Veuer’s Maria Mercedes Galuppo has the story.

And now, a group of researchers reports that they have found a gene in mice that rejuvenates female brains. Humans have the same gene. The discovery suggests a possible way to help both women and ...

at least in female mice, ageing activates expression of genes on what is usually the ‘silent’, or inactivated, X chromosome in cells in the hippocampus, a brain region crucial to learning and ...

For members of The Bangles, the quintessential all-female band of the 1980s ... eyes a place in music history is laid out in a new book, “Eternal Flame: The Authorized Biography of The ...
