A 3D printer makes brains out of bio-ink, and researchers debate the number of types of neurons.

Girls with autism are nearly three times as likely as boys with the disorder to have severe epilepsy that responds poorly to medication. The findings add a twist to one of the biggest conundrums in autism: its 4-to-1 ratio of boys to girls.

The first systematic look at adults with the rare seizure disorder Dravet syndrome suggests that nearly two-thirds of them also have autism. The findings add to mounting evidence that epilepsy and autism share biological roots.

Many children with autism have gastrointestinal problems, seizures and sleep disorders. A new study suggests that these seemingly disparate conditions are interconnected and may lead to the children’s behavioral issues.

Researchers are using social media and an online ‘brain-training’ program to study people with rare chromosomal abnormalities linked to autism.

An online catalog helps clarify the roles of thousands of spontaneous mutations in four neuropsychiatric disorders, including autism.

A boy with autism maps the world from memory, and would-be profs are trapped in perpetual postdocs.

A blood pressure drug called bumetanide may shield the brain from the effects of severe seizures early in life.

Researchers home in on the cerebellum’s role, and an app helps children with autism make eye contact.

An acne drug, a dietary supplement and a failed sleeping aid each show promise for Angelman syndrome, according to unpublished results presented Tuesday at a meeting.
