Differences in gene expression, not just their presence, seems to drive the remarkable specialization found in the human brain. Credit ... a device with a very narrow channel to separate each nucleus ...

Scientists have discovered a mechanism called excitation-mitochondrial DNA transcription coupling (E-TCmito) that links neuronal activity to mitochondrial function. This mechanism plays a critical ...
