          These Neurons Are the Reason You Yawn When You See Others Do It, And They Could Help Us Teach Children More Creatively Too

          Mirror neurons are essential for the human species. Not only do they allow us to learn by observation and imitation, but they also are essential for the development of empathy and social behaviors.

          Treating Brain ‘Hotspots’ and Networks to Address Autism, Aggression and More

          A new study identifies specific brain network hotspots linked to autism, aggression, and a range of other social behavioral problems. The findings reveal those with ASD who score lower on facial processing tests are more likely to have more severe symptoms of autism, especially social behavioral problems. The researchers report treatments such as tRMS may provide some hope for those on the autism spectrum.

          Autism May Be Linked to Different Perceptions of Movement in Infancy

          At the age of five months, children who are later diagnosed with autism show different activity in the visual cortex when viewing certain types of movement. Findings reveal those with ASD experience differences in perceptions of their surroundings from a young age, and this may affect their learning and overall development.

          Using Virtual Reality to Investigate Autism’s Neural Network Dynamics

          Combining novel virtual reality imaging with machine learning, researchers were able to accurately detect mouse models of ASD compared to wild-type mice based on cortical functional network dynamics while the animal was in motion.

          Autism Rates Continue to Rise in California

          1 in 22 children in California is diagnosed with autism, a new study reports. The number is higher than previous estimates in December which stated 1 in 44 children were on the autism spectrum. Earlier diagnosis and extensive early services may account for the higher number of children diagnosed with ASD in California.

          An Association Between Autism in Children and Cardiometabolic Diseases

          As many as 1 in 44 children are diagnosed with autism, and those with ASD are at greater risk of obesity. Obesity has been linked to an increased risk of diabetes and other cardiometabolic diseases, including dyslipidemia. Researchers say physicians should monitor children with ASD for signs of cardiometabolic disorders.

          Could an Ancient Virus Be a Genetic Driver of Autism?

          Genome and transcriptome analysis revealed BTBR autism mouse models have increased levels of endogenous retrovirus genes. BTBR/R models of ASD showed differences in the expression of a variety of genes that are indicative of endogenous retrovirus activation. BTBR/R mice exhibit autistic-like behaviors without reduced learning abilities.

          Age-Related Brain Differences in Autistic Individuals

          Genes linked to inflammation, neurotransmission, and immunity act differently in the brains of those on the autism spectrum compared to neurotypical people. These differences begin during childhood and evolve throughout a person's lifespan.

          Through the Eye of the Beholder: People With Autism Process Illusory Shapes Differently

          Using EEG data, researchers discovered children on the autism spectrum do not automatically process illusory shapes as well as children not on the autism spectrum. The findings suggest something is going awry in the feedback-processing pathways in the brains of those with autism.

          Social Deficits and Seizures in Autism Type Tied to Overexcited Brain Circuits

          A genetic subtype of ASD and schizophrenia have a duplicate gene that triggers overactivity in neural circuits, leading to social deficits and seizures. When researchers reduced the level of the PRRT2 gene in mouse models of 16p11.2 duplication syndrome, social behaviors were restored and seizure activity decreased.

          Sensory Signals Are Integrated Differently, Underrepresented by Neurons in Autism

          Environmental sensory signals are integrated differently in those with Fragile X syndrome, causing them to be underrepresented by cortical pyramidal neurons.
