Researchers at Stanford Medicine have pinpointed a brain region that may drive autism-related behaviors. They report that dialing down its activity reversed symptoms in mice engineered to model autism ...

A global consortium of scientists has created the first and most detailed "developmental maps" of the mammalian brain (from ...

This initial draft has already yielded important discoveries, pinpointing key genes that regulate brain processes. It has ...

A new study shows that oxidative stress—an imbalance between damaging molecules and antioxidants—may contribute to repetitive behaviors observed in mice, similar to those seen in autism spectrum ...

Scientists say they need better access to human brain tissue to understand how dementia, Alzheimer's, epilepsy, autism, ...

While the definitive causes remain unclear, several genetic and environmental factors increase the likelihood of autism spectrum disorder, or ASD, a group of conditions covering a "spectrum" of ...
