Deletion of a section of chromosome 22 can cause psychosis in one individual and autism in another, via independent biological pathways.

A new study ties autism risk to a core team of proteins that facilitate neuronal signaling as an animal learns.

Genetic variants that impair a pathway that prunes neuronal connections may offer clues to autism.

Scientists fret over ‘Brexit,’ a video game boosts cognitive skills in children, and studies detail the downsides of jargon.

Mental health conditions crop up more than twice as often in families that include a child with autism as in the general population.

Brains from people with autism show patterns of gene expression similar to those from people with schizophrenia.

The mutations that men accumulate in their sperm as they age don’t account for most of their increased risk of having a child with autism.

Mutations in genes that seemingly don’t affect the corresponding proteins may still boost autism risk.

Individuals who have autism or another psychiatric condition tend to pair up with others who share their diagnosis.

Watch the replay of Claudia Bagni’s webinar, in which she described molecular pathways that are impaired in fragile X syndrome, autism and schizophrenia. She also discussed mouse and fly models, as well as human cells.
