Scientists discover neurons must break their DNA to build the brain
SMRTR summary
Developing neurons must squeeze through tight tissue to reach their final brain positions, and this physical journey routinely breaks their DNA. Surprisingly, healthy brains quickly repair this damage within 24 hours. When repair fails, balance problems emerge in adulthood, suggesting incomplete DNA repair may contribute to neurological diseases.
