A new study published in Nature in the paper, “Developmental convergence and divergence in human stem cell models of autism,” provides new insights by demonstrating that while different mutations ...

UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism ...

Using cortical organoids from individuals with autism, researchers tracked gene activity over development. Early ...

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 ...

Some autistic teens often adopt behaviors to mask their diagnosis in social settings helping them be perceived — or “pass” — as non-autistic. For the first time, researchers are able to observe brain ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this process possible. Among the discoveries is PEDS1, a gene now linked to a ...

People with autism have brains that are wired differently. This can make them especially strong in some areas-such as ...

At the grocery store, a mother guides her child down the cereal aisle. Nearby, a man studies a list on his phone while a cashier rings up a customer’s order with precision. Amid these ordinary scenes, ...
