By growing miniature brain models from patient cells, researchers have identified distinct electrical activity patterns linked to various autism profiles. This approach offers a personalized way to ...

A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and intellectual disability may influence early brain development. Subscribe to our ...

June 14, 2012 — A longitudinal imaging study has showed that infants at high risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with a subsequent ASD diagnosis exhibited abnormal development of white matter in ...

UNIGE scientists identified a brain circuit where lies the origin the social difficulties experienced by people with autism spectrum disorders. From birth, human survival depends on the ability to ...

A comprehensive new study suggests that females require a much larger biological and cognitive shift to develop autism than males do. The findings help explain why the condition is diagnosed ...

New neuroscience research identifies Glutamine Synthetase as the key enzyme driving postnatal brain maturation and neuronal connectivity via the mTOR pathway.

Some research suggests that avoiding environmental exposures, especially pre-conception, may help. Influencers branded the idea “trimester zero,” but the science is in early stages.

The symptoms of autism may not be obvious until a child is a toddler, but the disorder itself appears to begin well before birth. Brain tissue taken from children who died and also happened to have ...
