In recent years, scientists have learned a lot more about mental health conditions such as autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers now know that changes in genes and problems with ...

Researchers have found that the severity of autism symptoms, rather than the diagnosis itself, is linked to patterns of brain connectivity associated with genes connected to autism and ADHD.

Although doctors can identify the condition, scientists are still trying to understand exactly why it happens and how the brain develops differently. The human brain is made of billions of tiny cells ...

The brain doesn’t always benefit from combining the senses. In autism and ADHD, clarity often comes from choosing what to focus on, not from taking everything in at once.

Johns Hopkins University researchers have grown a novel whole-brain organoid, complete with neural tissues and rudimentary blood vessels—an advance that could usher in a new era of research into ...

Despite the naysayers, research into the gut-autism axis is producing useful results and helping kids with autism feel less ...

Organotics, a brain organoid startup, uses AI and patient-derived brain models to fast-track personalized medicine for autism and reduce psychiatric drug failure.

Using CRISPR, Hebrew University of Jerusalem team finds PEDS1 enzyme linked to reduced brain size; study maps 331 genes ...

A new study find that infants with high sensory sensitivity have shallower deep sleep, offering clues into early neurodivergent development.

Most research on autism focuses on younger people, but some studies suggest older adults face increased risks — and perhaps ...

Babies with an increased likelihood of autism may struggle to settle into deep, restorative sleep, according to a new study ...
