A major new study reveals that autistic children’s brains process faces differently, and those differences may begin earlier ...

Autistic and non-autistic adults can perform equally well on a perceptual task while their brains respond differently to mistakes, assess decision difficulty and use recent experiences to guide future ...

Newborn brain scans reveal how autism-related genetic variants influence early neural wiring, offering fresh insights into the origins of neurodevelopmental differences. Research: Autism common ...

UNIGE scientists have discovered that children with autism exhibit different brain patterns depending on their language abilities. This discovery could improve predictions of their language ...

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. Their work helps ...

UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder affect early brain development, providing new insights ...

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 ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected connection between inflammation during pregnancy, placental damage, and autism-like ...

Hundreds of genes have been linked to autism, yet the precise molecular and cellular mechanisms behind it remain largely unclear. A new study published in Nature, led by Gaia Novarino at the Institute ...

Language can prove a bugaboo for children with autism. Now new research finds that it’s possible to use toddlers’ brain responses to words to predict their linguistic and cognitive skills down the ...
