When there are fewer dendritic spines, fewer synapses are formed, and brain cells struggle to communicate properly. This ...

When Marc and Cristina Easton’s son was diagnosed with autism at 20 months, the Baltimore couple left the doctor’s ...

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 ...

A new review proposes that autism arises when genetic sensitivity, early-life triggers and prolonged metabolic stress converge. The model suggests that a stalled cell danger response may disrupt brain ...

New research from a team at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) has for the first time shown how inflammation in early childhood can affect brain development and contribute to the ...

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 ...

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

Injury to the cerebellum could further our understanding of autism, according to new research by molecular biology professor Samuel Wang. Using the preexisting anatomical and clinical work from the ...
