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

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

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

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 ...

Mixed autism with developmental delay: Roughly 19 percent showed early developmental delays but few signs of anxiety, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Children with autism have larger brains and more neurons for their age than is normal, results of a small preliminary study indicate. Postmortem examinations from seven boys with autism revealed that ...

Severe forms of autism could be linked to overgrowth of the brain's outer layer that starts while a baby is in the womb, a new study finds. Toddlers with autism have cerebral cortexes -- often ...
