Making neurons lose their inhibitions

CIRM grantees at Sanford-Burnham have just published an interesting paper in PLoS Biology about developing a type of neuron that could alleviate symptoms of Huntington's disease, autism, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder - all diseases in which some neurons lose their inhibitions.

Stem cell progress on brain awareness week

by Amy Adams on March 14, 2011 at 11:46AM | 0 comments

This week marks Brain Awareness Week, with events worldwide to bring people up to speed on brain research. I went to the cool search tool on the Dana Foundation web site and found that several CIRM grantees are hosting events this week. That makes sense, given that roughly a quarter of our funding goes to neuronal diseases. (You can see charts of CIRM stem cell research funding allocations here. The charts are slightly out of date - stay tuned for some updates in the next month.)
