The findings solidify the idea that autism-linked mutations affect brain activity by way of several key shared mechanisms.
The journal’s publisher flagged problems in 11 papers that were part of a special issue on assistive technology in special education.
The finding confirms past research that links autism to early death, but it also suggests that the life expectancy gap may be smaller than previously thought.
A massive new set of interaction maps illuminates especially high convergence in protein networks related to autism and shows how mutations could disrupt those networks.
The protein products of ANK2 and SCN2A interact to regulate dendritic excitability.
Random fluctuations in neuronal activity are more variable in a fragile X mouse model than in wildtype mice.
Male pups born to mothers treated with immune-stimulating molecules show autism-like behaviors and, unlike wildtype animals, do not lose memories formed during early life.
Handheld devices promise to bring autism detection home, but many researchers urge caution.
Here are five must-reads from our coverage of autism research over the past 12 months.
