New research shows autism and ADHD may share brain and gene patterns, changing how we understand both conditions.

Scientists are uncovering a surprising connection between autism and ADHD that goes deeper than labels. Instead of diagnoses, it’s the severity of autism-like traits that seems to shape how the brain ...

What they found: Scientists at UC San Diego identified cellular metabolism and energy signaling as a central factor connecting all known genetic and environmental autism risk factors. The 3-hit model: ...

Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. Scientists have identified a distinct brain connectivity pattern in 6-week-old infants who are more likely to develop ...

Autism is linked to hundreds of different genes, yet many autistic people share similar features. Now, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Stanford University report ...

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 ...

Organoids have helped create a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder affect early brain development. This work provides new insights ...

Inna Fishman and Rowena Ng place electrodes on the scalp of an individual with Williams syndrome. In Brain Sense, I tell the story of thirteen-year-old Charlie Betz (not his real name). Charlie has ...

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 ...

Autism and Alzheimer’s share brain wiring issues like faulty genes (SHANK3) and weak connections, raising later dementia risk ...

Researchers at the University of Exeter have created a detailed temporal map of chemical changes to DNA through development and aging of the human brain, offering new insights into how conditions such ...
