Researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology have established the protein p53 as critical for regulating sociability, repetitive behavior, and hippocampus-related learning and memory in mice, illuminating the relationship between the protein-coding gene TP53 and neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders.
Below are some of the latest headlines in the Women's Health channel on Newswise.
Developmental disabilities affect one in every six children, including conditions such as autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD.
Some children with autism may develop language skills independently of the joint attention skills usually associated with language learning.
For adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) trying to land a job, one-on-one interview training is a better way to prepare than group sessions, which may work for others, a Rutgers study found.
Results of clinical studies published simultaneously today in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and in JAMA Network Open demonstrate that measuring children’s looking behavior predicts expert clinical diagnosis of autism in children between ages 16 to 30 months tested with a high degree of accuracy.
Marcus Autism Center, a subsidiary of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, has developed the first biomarker-based, eye-tracking diagnostic technology now available to help diagnose autism.
UC Davis MIND Institute Director Leonard Abbeduto has co-authored a paper in the American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities that calls for a paradigm shift in disability research.
ASD, a complex neurodevelopmental disorder, is known to be linked to altered brain development. However, precise markers that can accurately diagnose ASD at the individual level have been elusive.
اكتشف علماء مايو كلينك وجامعة ييل، من خلال استخدام نماذج "الدماغ المُصغَّر" البشرية المعروفة باسم العضيات، أن جذور اضطراب طيف التوحد قد تكون مرتبطة باختلال توازن الخلايا العصبية المحددة التي تلعب دورًا حاسمًا في كيفية تواصل الدماغ ووظائفه.
Usando modelos humanos de “minicérebros” conhecidos como organoides, a Mayo Clinic e os cientistas da Universidade de Yale descobriram que as raízes do transtorno do espectro autista podem estar associadas com um desequilíbrio de neurônios específicos que exercem uma função crítica na forma como o cérebro se comunica e funciona.
Utilizando modelos de minicerebros humanos conocidos como organoides, científicos de Mayo Clinic y de la Universidad de Yale han descubierto que las raíces del trastorno del espectro autista pueden estar asociadas a un desequilibrio de neuronas específicas que desempeñan un papel fundamental en la forma en que el cerebro se comunica y funciona.
The start of the school year can be tough for many children. For some, the struggle might last just a few days. For others, however, a difficult transition back to school might be a sign of an undetected behavioral or developmental condition that requires medical attention.
Two distinct neurodevelopmental abnormalities that arise just weeks after the start of brain development have been associated with the emergence of autism spectrum disorder, according to a new Yale-led study in which researchers developed brain organoids from the stem cells of boys diagnosed with the disorder.
Using human "mini-brain" models known as organoids, Mayo Clinic and Yale University scientists have discovered that the roots of autism spectrum disorder may be associated with an imbalance of specific neurons that play a critical role in how the brain communicates and functions.
Researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) are teaming up with a local organization to pioneer the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the lives of autistic and neurodiverse individuals in North Alabama. The project is being funded by Little Orange Fish (LOF), a Huntsville, Ala., non-profit, to improve access to mental healthcare for families and healthcare providers.
UCLA Health researchers have published the largest-ever study of families with at least two children with autism, uncovering new risk genes and providing new insights into how genetics influence whether someone develops autism spectrum disorder.
A University of California, Irvine-led team of researchers working at the Center for Neural Circuit Mapping find links between brain disorders and dysfunction of newly identified inhibitory brain cell types.
