The study also reveals a link between language development and common variants.

This month’s issue is packed with tips for early-career researchers heading to the first in-person meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in three years.

An analysis of 11 cortical regions shows anterior-to-posterior shifts in gene expression linked to autism.

The gene, YTHDF2, has not previously been linked to autism.

The findings, based on Swedish national registry data, suggest a critical need to expand mental health services for autistic people.

Recent Twitter threads explore a new approach to autism diagnosis, a mysterious genetic region and social determinants of health.

Few autistic people undergo the recommended genetic testing for their condition, and test results often do not make their way into public databases, where researchers and clinicians can learn from them.

The rare variants are also linked to ADHD and Tourette syndrome, two other conditions that disproportionately affect boys and men.

Two threads pose intriguing neuroscience questions; plus a criminal-justice policy brief.

Mice missing the autism-linked SHANK2 and SHANK3 genes in their retrosplenial cortex have trouble distinguishing between novel and familiar mice.
