Charles Higgins and Julie Miller Uncover Key Gene Changes in Songbirds That Could Inform Treatments for Neurodegenerative Diseases

By studying 36 songbirds of different ages, researchers identified specific "hub genes" whose expression significantly changes as the birds age. These hub genes play a crucial role in regulating other genes and could hold the key to developing future treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, which impact vocal and motor functions.
