February 03, 2020 Artificial neurons may repair damaged cells and circuits
Electronic neurons made from silicon mimic brain cells and could be used to treat autism.
Researchers plan to use the technology in conjunction with machine learning to retrain damaged or atypical neurons and restore function in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease, autism or other conditions.

February 03, 2020 Analysis offers first reliable estimate of prevalence in Oman
A new study has found that 0.2 percent of children in Oman are on the autism spectrum — an estimate about 15 times higher than the previous one.

Restricted interests and repetitive behaviors constitute one of two criteria that define autism in the diagnostic manual for psychiatry.

January 29, 2020 Autistic people have increased incidence of neurological problems
People with autism have more brain-related health problems, such as headaches and epilepsy, than typical people do, according to a survey of twins. The study is the first to look at associations between autism and physical health problems among twins.

January 27, 2020 Genetic tests of sperm may forecast odds of autism in children
Some men who have an autistic child carry mutations linked to the condition only in their sperm, according to a new study1. In these men, genetic tests of sperm, rather than of blood, may help estimate their chances of passing the mutations to future children.

January 22, 2020 Autism’s genetic drivers may differ by sex
Autism may stem from a different — and larger — set of genetic mutations in women than it does in men, according to a new study.
