Risk genes for autism overlap with those for attention deficit
People with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder may carry certain rare, harmful mutations in many of the same genes as people with autism.

Second ‘hits’ may explain autism mutations’ varied effects
People who have a mutation linked to autism plus a second genetic glitch tend to have more severe symptoms than those with the mutation alone.

Yeast assay illuminates effects of mutations in top autism gene
Mutations in the gene PTEN that are tied to autism may be less harmful than those linked to a syndrome characterized by benign tumors.

How artificial agents can help us understand social recognition
Neuroscience is chasing the complexity of social behavior, yet we have not answered the simplest question in the chain: How does a brain know “who is who”? Emerging multi-agent artificial intelligence may help accelerate our understanding of this fundamental computation.

Methodological flaw may upend network mapping tool
The lesion network mapping method, used to identify disease-specific brain networks for clinical stimulation, produces a nearly identical network map for any given condition, according to a new study.

Common and rare variants shape distinct genetic architecture of autism in African Americans
Certain gene variants may have greater weight in determining autism likelihood for some populations, a new study shows.
