A study has found distinct brain connectivity patterns in six-week-old infants at risk for developing autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A study co-led by researchers at UCLA Health has found distinct ...

Scientists have identified a distinct brain connectivity pattern in 6-week-old infants who are more likely to develop autism. The discovery offers exciting insights into the neurological development ...

A new study discovers how nitric oxide triggers a biochemical domino effect in the brain, leading to mTOR overactivation in ...

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 ...

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.

Recent research has identified specific patterns of brain activity that distinguish young children with autism from their typically developing peers. These patterns involve the way different regions ...

A unique pattern of brain organization may explain why children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often possess superior math skills. A small brain imaging study showed that children between the ...

Autism spectrum disorder is caused by a variety of factors, both genetic and environmental. But a new study led by UCLA scientists provides further evidence that the brains of people with the disorder ...
