A gene linked to mental disorders helps lays the foundation for a crucial brain structure during prenatal development, according to Salk Institute research published January 14, 2016 in Cell Reports.

It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" to each other. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in ...

A novel mathematical approach enables the identification of brain regions whose connectivity shifts in autism or aging, informing targeted brain stimulation therapies.

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 ...

June 14, 2012 — A longitudinal imaging study has showed that infants at high risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with a subsequent ASD diagnosis exhibited abnormal development of white matter in ...

Biological heterogeneity in autism can illuminate precision psychiatry and improve insights from primate brain mapping data.

An epigenetic study found that sperm DNA methylation changes with paternal age at thousands of genomic sites, including ...

Sex differences in brain structure are present from birth, research from the Autism Research Centre at the University of Cambridge has shown. While male brains tended to be greater in volume than ...

Music has long been described as a universal language one that reaches people even when words cannot. For autistic children, this idea is more than a metaphor. Modern neuroimaging tools such as ...
