Some neurons activate autism-linked genes when they fire, according to a new study.

Merging 3D clusters of neurons that mimic different brain regions models the atypical electrical activity seen in an autism-related condition.

Two unpublished studies detail improved techniques for delivering gene therapies to the brain.

A screening technique tests how inactivated genes affect spheres of cultured brain cells; it could shed light on autism-linked mutations.

Neurons derived from people with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome show deficits in calcium signaling and electrical activity, pointing to possible therapeutic targets.

An infusion of umbilical cord blood does not improve social skills in autistic children, according to results from the largest, most rigorous test of the therapy for autism to date.

Researchers have monitored the active genome in brain organoids over the course of nearly two years — and may find clues to autism’s roots.

The mutation that causes Angelman syndrome makes neurons hyperexcitable, which may explain the frequent seizures that most people with the syndrome have.

Two agency letters put California-based Liveyon on warning and alert the public to the risks associated with stem-cell based therapies for autism.
