Long-range evolutionary constraints reveal cis-regulatory interactions on the human X chromosome. [PDF]
Enhancers can regulate the transcription of genes over long genomic distances. This is thought to lead to selection against genomic rearrangements within such regions that may disrupt this functional linkage.

Moral and social reasons to acknowledge the use of cognitive enhancers in competitive-selective contexts [PDF]
Background: Although some of the most radical hypothesis related to the practical implementations of human enhancement have yet to become even close to reality, the use of cognitive enhancers is a very tangible phenomenon occurring with increasing ...

GluN2A NMDA Receptor Enhancement Improves Brain Oscillations, Synchrony, and Cognitive Functions in Dravet Syndrome and Alzheimer’s Disease Models [PDF]
Hanson et al. examine the therapeutic effects of enhancing GluN2A-subunit-containing NMDAR function in Dravet syndrome and Alzheimer's disease mice. GNE-0723 treatment reduces aberrant low-frequency oscillations and epileptiform discharges and improves ...

Can cognitive enhancers reduce the risk of falls in older people with Mild Cognitive Impairment? A protocol for a randomised controlled double blind trial [PDF]
Background Older adults with cognitive problems have a higher risk of falls, at least twice that of cognitively normal older adults. The consequences of falls in this population are very serious: fallers with cognitive problems suffer more injuries due ...
