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 ...

The study used large-scale CRISPR gene-editing technology to systematically determine which genes are required as embryonic stem cells develop into brain cells.

A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence infant brain growth, a trait associated with autism. Researchers have made ...

A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and intellectual disability may influence early brain development. Subscribe to our ...

LAWRENCE — A researcher from the University of Kansas Life Span Institute is part of an international group that recently published a comprehensive review of differences in sensory processing for ...

The symptoms of autism may not be obvious until a child is a toddler, but the disorder itself appears to begin well before birth. Brain tissue taken from children who died and also happened to have ...

Epigenetic changes during early brain development, and the complexities of autism. Also, how bacteria learn to parry antibiotics, the subterranean burp that shook the Island of Santorini, and new ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In a new study published today in Nature Neuroscience, researchers led by ...
