- Differing gene functions across species may pose problems for autism models
Misaligned gene expression maps suggest that some autism-linked genes play distinct roles in mouse and human brains.
5 min - Mutations in frogs point to autism genes’ shared role in neurogenesisMutations in any of 10 autism-linked genes in frogs lead to the same overabundance of brain cells that develop into neurons; the sex hormone estrogen lowers this excess.The post Mutations in frogs point to autism genes’ shared role in neurogenesis appeared first on Spectrum | Autism Research News.7 min
- Autism gene interference silences song memory in birds
Muffling expression of an autism-linked gene in a key song-related area of the brain renders young zebra finches unable to learn songs from older birds.
7 min - Sensor helps scientists spy on serotonin activity in mice in real timeA glowing protein tracks serotonin levels and location in the brains of living mice and could yield clues to the neurotransmitter’s role in autism.The post Sensor helps scientists spy on serotonin activity in mice in real time appeared first on Spectrum | Autism Research News.6 min
- Changes to mitochondrial DNA spur autism-like traits in mice
Mice with a mutation in their mitochondrial DNA show altered brain activity, repetitive behaviors and reduced sociability, according to a new study.
6 min - Spectrum reporting prompts new review of common drugAripiprazole, an antipsychotic medication marketed as Abilify, eases aggressive behavior in autistic children, but questions remain about its side effects.The post Spectrum reporting prompts new review of common drug appeared first on Spectrum | Autism Research News.4 min
- Copy number variations linked to autism have diverse but overlapping effectsPeople with mutations in distant chromosomal regions often share a range of autism traits, even if they do not meet the diagnostic threshold for autism.The post Copy number variations linked to autism have diverse but overlapping effects appeared first on Spectrum | Autism Research News.5 min
- Common variants link autism, ADHD, Tourette syndromeGenetic variants that contribute to autism may also be involved in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and Tourette syndrome, according to a new study.The post Common variants link autism, ADHD, Tourette syndrome appeared first on Spectrum | Autism Research News.5 min

Mutations in any of 10 autism-linked genes in frogs lead to the same overabundance of brain cells that develop into neurons; the sex hormone estrogen lowers this excess.
7 min - The Promise of Scientific Partnerships with People on the Spectrum - Combating StigmaIn January 2019, Dorota Chapko interviewed for a job as a postdoctoral researcher at Heart n Soul at The Hub at Wellcome Collection in London, a research arm of an arts collective for people with autism or intellectual disability. The data scientist — she has a Ph.D. in public health — would be analyzing data for a project alongside adults with these conditions.5 min
