Immune system activation of the mother during pregnancy can disrupt neurodevelopment in her offspring, a new study shows.
Researchers compile seven important things to know about the Zika virus.
Researchers find that, compared with neurotypical children, those with autism have multiple redundant connections between neighboring brain areas at the expense of long-distance links.
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.
Future research into the underlying causes of neurological disorders such as autism, epilepsy and schizophrenia, should greatly benefit from a first-of-its-kind atlas of gene-enhancers in the cerebrum (telencephalon). This new atlas identifies and locates thousands of gene-regulating elements in a region of the brain that is of critical importance for cognition, motor functions and emotion.
Researchers report there may be a molecular placental pathway that allows females to be more resilient to maternal stress.
Researchers discover IVF treatments for the most severe forms of male infertility are associated with an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in children.
Researchers pinpoint the role of the Arl13b gene in the formation and proper placement of neurons during brain development.
According to researchers, even before a preterm infant is born, they may have alterations in the brain's neural networks that could contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders.
The development of fine motor skill could take longer than previously thought, according to a new study.
Researchers find the infant brain does not control its blood flow in the same way as the adult brain. The findings could change the way researchers study brain development in infants and children.
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.
