A hidden molecular chain reaction in the brain may push key cellular systems into overdrive in autism—and scientists just found a way to switch it off.

However, in the mini-brains linked to autism, the researchers saw an overproduction of excitatory neurons. This imbalance may ...

Researchers identify dopamine transporter abnormalities in young adults with autism, potentially explaining their 6x higher risk of Parkinson’s.

Some research suggests that avoiding environmental exposures, especially pre-conception, may help. Influencers branded the idea “trimester zero,” but the science is in early stages.

Recently, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been the focus of much conversation and confusion. With so much information and misinformation available, it's important to separate fact from fiction. In ...
