Developmental biologists at Carnegie Mellon University have identified the gene regulatory networks responsible for the creation and organization of neurons in starfish. The findings, published in an early online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, provide a better understanding of how genes are regulated in order to form complex patterns of neurons.

Students preparing for final exams might want to wait before pulling an all-night cram session — at least as far as their neurons are concerned. Carnegie Mellon neuroscientists have discovered a new intermediate phase in neuronal development during which repeated exposure to a stimulus shrinks synapses.
