By analyzing over 213,000 developing human brain cells, researchers show that many autism risk genes act through the ECM.

A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...

Language can prove a bugaboo for children with autism. Now new research finds that it’s possible to use toddlers’ brain responses to words to predict their linguistic and cognitive skills down the ...

A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and ...

The new analysis study showed the delay may stem from genetic mutations that are present when a child is born – but activate ...

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 ...

Brain cortical organoids (BCOs) created by Dr. Alysson Muotri shown in a 2019 file photo. Researchers at the University of California San Diego used stem cells from toddlers with autism and created ...

Researchers at the University of Exeter have created a detailed temporal map of chemical changes to DNA through development and aging of the human brain, offering new insights into how conditions such ...

Researchers have made great strides to understand early signs of autism. Studies have found that certain factors like ...

Males are three times more likely than females to have autism. Although autism is strongly heritable, the male prevalence of autism must be due to more than just genes since autistic girls carry a ...
