The landscape of chemical modifications on the DNA of people with autism could reveal clues to the condition and lead to treatments.
Genes and the environment each influence the role of the other in determining the risk of developing autism. Genetics can determine how susceptible one is to the environment, and environmental factors can influence gene expression and introduce mutations, says immunologist Janine LaSalle.
Neurons from the two rodents can wire up together to form functional circuits—all while maintaining some species-specific properties, two new studies show.

The widely used measure of “theory of mind” needs to be re-examined, along with the long-standing claim that autism is linked to a lack of this ability.
