Emerging scientific evidence indicates that frequent digital technology use has a significant impact-both negative and positive-on brain function and behavior. Potential harmful effects of extensive screen time and technology use include heightened attention-deficit symptoms, impaired emotional and social intelligence, technology addiction, social isolation, impaired brain development, and disrupted sleep. However, various apps, videogames, and other online tools may benefit brain health.

- Various genetic techniques help trace cell lineage during tissue development, with some focusing on spatial/temporal aspects and others linking gene expression to lineage.
- The G-TRACE system allows for quick visualization of GAL4 expression patterns, enabling genome-wide expression-based lineage studies conducted by UCLA students and high school scholars.
- Findings revealed new expression-based lineage patterns and were compiled into the G-TRACE Expression Database (GED), contributing to better student learning outcomes and retention in STEM fields.
The structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complex, SMC5/6, is important for genome maintenance in all model eukaryotes. To date, the most extensive studies have focused on the roles of Smc5/6 in lower eukaryotes, such as yeast and fly. In the handful of studies that have used mammalian cells, siRNA was used by most to knockdown SMC5/6 components.
