Scientists have discovered that severe autism can be reversed and symptoms can be reduced to a level where they are no longer distinguishable. Two non-identical twin girls in the US were diagnosed at 20 months of age with a level of autism requiring “very substantial support.” In a groundbreaking study, their parents worked with a … Read more
Scientists may soon be able to use “intelligent onesies” to identify autism, ADHD and other neurodivergent conditions in babies by analyzing their movements. As part of an ongoing study, researchers from the University of Sussex, England, are using suits equipped with motion sensors and video footage to monitor the movements of babies from birth to … Read more
A new study has uncovered a key factor behind the disparate outcomes seen in children with autism. Researchers from the University of California San Diego found that differences in the biological development of the brain during the first weeks and months of embryonic growth play a significant role in the severity of autism symptoms later … Read more
Resume: A new study reveals how the protein Gephyrin helps form synapses, providing new insights into brain connectivity. The findings could help develop treatments for conditions such as autism, epilepsy and schizophrenia. Researchers used CRISPR-Cas9 to confirm Gephyrin’s role in the development of autonomic synapses. This breakthrough advances the understanding of synaptic mechanisms and potential … Read more
Resume: Researchers found significant sex-specific differences in brain development between autistic boys and girls aged 2 to 13. The study found that autistic girls have a thicker cortex at age 3 and faster cortical thinning in middle age compared to boys. This research highlights the need for more inclusive studies to fully understand autism. Biological … Read more
