Researchers establish SCN3A genetic mutations cause infantile epileptic encephalopathy.
The benefits of endurance exercise can vary based on the mutation types associated with primary mitochondrial disease, a new study reports.
Nonverbal children on the autism spectrum have a slower response to auditory stimulation. The longer response times were associated with poor communication skills. Brain imaging of the auditory cortex could serve as a biomarker for measuring the likelihood of language impairment in those with ASD.
Researchers report massive cortical reorganization was reversed in a child who received a double hand transplant following amputation in infancy.
A new study that investigates the molecular mechanism of CHOP dependent apoptosis has important implications in Alzheimer's and other diseases.
Mitochondrial defects in brain cells may be a cause of autism spectrum disorder, a new study reports.
Study urges doctors to continue screening all toddlers for ASD, but recommends changing to M-CHAT screening methods to improve accuracy and address current disparities.
NKAP-related syndrome, a newly identified neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the NKPA gene, causes developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, behavioral abnormalities, and musculoskeletal problems in children.
A new meta-analysis of neuroimaging data reveals people with ASD process social and nonsocial rewards differently than those without an autism diagnosis.
Children who experience kidney damage as a result of diabetic ketoacidosis are more likely to develop cognitive impairments and demonstrate lower IQ scores.
Researchers used non invasive MRI brain scans to map the brains of newborns. The study reveals the brain architecture that emerges as the brain reshapes during the third trimester of pregnancy. The map can be used to detect atypical connections in the brain that serve as biomarkers for ASD.
A new study reports obsessive and compulsive behaviors in young people may represent a red flag for other more serious psychiatric conditions. Researchers report a link between OCS and an increased risk of depression and suicidal thoughts in young people.
