Researchers discover that diverse genetic causes of autism converge on shared cell types and temporary maturation delays during early brain development.

A new survey reveals a striking disconnect in how Americans think about autism research. While nearly everyone agrees that studying the autistic brain is essential, most people are unaware that brain ...

Organoids have helped create a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder affect early brain development. This work provides new insights ...

It may be possible to detect autism in babies before their first birthdays, a much earlier diagnosis than ever before, a small new study finds. Using magnetic-resonance imaging scans, researchers at ...

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 ...

Currently, there is no way to diagnose children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) until behavioral traits begin to show at around 24 months of age. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ...
