A researcher's mathematical modeling approach for brain imaging analysis reveals links between genes, brain structure and autism. A multi-university research team co-led by University of Virginia ...

Autistic adults show reduced availability of a key glutamate receptor, mGlu5, across widespread brain regions.

Hundreds of genes have been linked to autism, but knowing which ones matter most has been a challenge. Researchers at the University of Aberdeen combined data from thousands of developing human brain ...

Neurodiversity advocates have long argued that autistic brains are differently wired. Now, new evidence shows they are right. Researchers have found atypical numbers of brain cells in two key areas of ...

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 ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a condition that affects the ability to interact and communicate. It may have symptoms that are similar to those seen in some brain injuries. Autism spectrum disorder ...

"Autism spectrum disorder (autism) and attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often co-occur, although it remains unclear whether these conditions share common neurobiological foundations or ...

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 ...
