According to a new study, the cerebral cortex is thicker on average in those with Down syndrome, although the volume of the cortex is lower.
A new study reports the rise in autism diagnosis across the US is due, in part, to the reclassification of other intellectual disabilities which often co-occur with autism.

A new study provides contrary evidence to popular belief and states people with congenital intellectual disabilities are sensitive to placebo-like effects.
According to Drexel University researchers, mothers who took multivitamins during pregnancy were 30% less likely to have children who develop autism with intellectual disability. However, researchers note the occurrence of autism without intellectual disability was not affected by the use of prenatal multivitamins.
