It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" to each other. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in ...

Researchers at the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have uncovered new insights into how brain wiring differs in ...

A groundbreaking study from Tel Aviv University expands the understanding of the biological mechanism underlying genetically-based autism, specifically mutations in the SHANK3 gene, responsible for ...

Johns Hopkins University researchers have grown a novel whole-brain organoid, complete with neural tissues and rudimentary blood vessels—an advance that could usher in a new era of research into ...

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.

The gut brain axis is an important relationship very few people discuss or even understand. It is composed of a two-way communication system between your gut (digestive system) and your brain which ...

Scientists at Stanford have found that hyperactivity in the brain’s reticular thalamic nucleus may drive autism-like behaviors. In mouse models, drugs and neuromodulation techniques that suppressed ...

A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.

Brain scans may be able to detect autism in children as young as six months old, according to a first-of-its-kind study happening in Minnesota. “It was a really remarkable finding,” said Dr. Meghan ...

Brain imaging revealed dopamine transporter abnormalities in some young adults with autism, similar to patterns seen in ...

Scientists have uncovered new evidence suggesting that autism may have it roots in how the human brain has evolved. "Our results suggest that some of the same genetic changes that make the human brain ...

"Autism is not a processing error. It's a different operating system." –Sarah Hendrickx According to the National Institute of Mental Health, autism is a ...
