March 29, 2021 There are no autism-specific genes, just brain genes
There is not yet a single example of a gene that, when mutated, increases the likelihood of autism but not of other neurodevelopmental conditions, including intellectual disability.

About 1.8 percent of schoolchildren in England are autistic, and the prevalence is highest among Black children, at about 2.1 percent.

March 26, 2021 Early training forestalls motor, memory difficulties in mouse model of Rett syndrome
Motor and memory training early in life postpones the onset of difficulties in those areas in a mouse model of Rett syndrome, and stimulating neurons involved in those skills appears to mimic the effects of training.

March 24, 2021 How oligodendrocytes may shape autism
A growing body of evidence shows that brain cells called oligodendrocytes may play a larger role in autism than previously thought.

March 22, 2021 Cesarean delivery unlikely to sway child’s likelihood of autism
Autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions are more common among children born by C-section than those delivered vaginally, but the procedure itself does not underlie the association, according to a new study.
