Deleting a gene called PTEN in certain brain cells disrupts the brain’s fear circuitry and triggers anxiety-like behavior in mice — key traits seen in autism. Researchers mapped how this ...

Neural biomarkers identified for obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms in deep brain networks. ... Study links gene-regulating brain circuit formation to autism and seizures. Jan 8, 2025.

Brain state-driven neural stimulation improves cognitive flexibility and relieves autistic behaviors. ... ASD can affect how a person interacts socially and with their environment to varying degrees.

Typically, a precise balance exists between the numbers of excitatory and inhibitory synapses within a neural circuit, and having an imbalance may lead to hyperexcitability - which in the case of ...

Autism affects the integration of neural information and is characterized by rigidity in brain dynamics. Recent research found that TMS may make brain state transitioning easier for people with ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu Newborn brain scans reveal how autism-related genetic variants influence early neural wiring, offering fresh insights into the origins of neurodevelopmental differences.
