Autistic adults show reduced availability of a key glutamate receptor, mGlu5, across widespread brain regions.

A new study from the University of Haifa suggests that disorders as different as Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, and autism may ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues highlights ...

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

A new study suggests rapid evolution of widespread neurons in humans may explain higher autism prevalence, showing natural ...

This report is based on a recent in-depth article by the BBC, which examined how modern genetics is transforming scientific understanding of autism and reigniting debates within the autistic community ...

A new USC study suggests that gut imbalances in children with autism may create an imbalance of metabolites in the digestive system - ultimately disrupting neurotransmitter production and influencing ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

Mirror neurons are a type of brain cell that is activated both when performing an action and when observing another individual perform that same action, a process thought to help an individual ...
