Hundreds of novel genetic variants across an ancestrally diverse cohort of 195 families, including 222 people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), have been identified by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center, expanding the catalog of known mutations associated with ASD.
University of Delaware professors offer tips for families with neurodivergent loved ones during the holidays. They suggest preparing with visual schedules, sensory-friendly spaces and flexible routines for added support.
Cedars-Sinai has published a summary highlighting its research findings for December 2024.
Randy D. Blakely, Ph.D., has been named a Fellow of the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET). Designation as an ASPET Fellow recognizes leaders in the field for their exceptional contributions to pharmacological research, education, mentorship and leadership.
Members of the Brain Health Institute at Rutgers mark a decade of innovation with an awards ceremony honoring faculty
A study by IRB Barcelona unveils how the lack of a fraction of the CPEB4 protein causes a decrease in the expression of genes that are crucial for neuronal development. Published in the journal Nature, the study opens new avenues for the development of targeted treatments for autism.
Researchers from IRB Barcelona will be available for a virtual press briefing on Tuesday, December 3
Cedars-Sinaiâs Center for Medicine, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, in cooperation with the peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet, will host a free event, open to the public, focusing on how the history of medicine, Nazism and the Holocaust is influencing the practice, students and practitioners of todayâs health professions.
Community partnerships led to a specialized clinic delivering COVID and flu shots to individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions like autism at the MIND Institute.
Researchers at the UNC School of Medicine show how sleep loss during early life impacts key aspects of brain development and how it can increase oneâs risk for developing autism spectrum disorder.
Researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS) have identified a small molecule that, in mouse and human cell models, rectifies the underlying molecular cause of a rare genetic developmental disorder, CTNNB1 syndrome, linked with motor and intellectual disabilities and some types of autism spectrum disorder.
A new study reveals children with autism have a keen interest in letters and numbers â something their parents donât always spot.
Key takeaways from Dr. Schwartzmanâs presentation:Autistic people are frequently excluded from mental health research due to various factors.Including autistic individuals and scientists in the design of autism-focused research studies is crucial to effective research.Dr. Schwartzmanâs lab is investigating tools to assess depression and suicide risk in autistic youth, testing autism-adapted cognitive behavioral therapy, and studying the needs of autistic youth and families following a suicide attempt.
Scientists have linked neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and autism, to changes in many genes involved in early brain development. However, more research is needed to understand how these gene variants influence the biological mechanisms that underlie these disorders.
A UCLA-led study has created a map of DNA modification in two regions of the brain critical to learning, memory and emotional regulation. The map offers a benchmark for ensuring stem cell-based models accurately replicate human brain development.
A new study by UdeM neuroscientist Guillaume Dumas sheds new light on the behaviour and brain activity of people with autism in social situations.
Newly appointed to UdeMâs Department of Psychology, the assistant professor studies ways to enhance the well-being of those on the autism spectrum.
