However, in the mini-brains linked to autism, the researchers saw an overproduction of excitatory neurons. This imbalance may ...

Autism Spectrum Disorder is rooted in neurological development, not behaviour or parenting. A pediatric neurologist explains ...

A gene linked to mental disorders helps lays the foundation for a crucial brain structure during prenatal development, according to Salk Institute research published January 14, 2016 in Cell Reports.

A hidden molecular chain reaction in the brain may push key cellular systems into overdrive in autism—and scientists just found a way to switch it off. The brain relies on a constant flow of chemical ...

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 ...

Researchers have found that the severity of autism symptoms, rather than the diagnosis itself, is linked to patterns of brain connectivity associated with genes connected to autism and ADHD.

Researchers identify dopamine transporter abnormalities in young adults with autism, potentially explaining their 6x higher risk of Parkinson’s.

A new study published in Science Advances introduces a powerful brain imaging technique that can detect autism-linked genetic variations with up to 95% accuracy. This approach, developed by ...
