A new mouse study that set out to test how sleep helps stabilize new memories has identified cells that may offer a genetic target for accessing circuits implicated in cognitive disorders. Researchers led by Min Xu and Wanling Peng from the Institute of Neuroscience at the Chinese Academy of Sciences focused on interneurons that gate the generation of ripples, which are brief bursts of electrical activity that are critical for memory consolidation.

Predicting recovery for patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) is exceptionally difficult due to the vast differences in injury causes and demographic backgrounds. In a new study published in The Innovation Life, researchers from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing Tiantan Hospital and Capital Medical University have revealed the connection between clinical characteristics (e.g., etiology, age and time since injury) and brain network connectivity. These characteristics play a crucial role in patients' functional recovery.

A research team led by Dr. Sheng Nengyin of the Kunming Institute of Zoology (KIZ) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has reframed ZC4H2-associated rare disorder (ZARD)—a disorder marked by intellectual disability, developmental delays, muscle weakness and other neurological or physical abnormalities—as a "disease spectrum" rather than a condition driven by a single mechanism.
