Multi-omics study captures CNTNAP2’s far-ranging effects
The in-depth approach shows mutations in the autism-linked gene disrupt neuronal growth and communication, as well as mitochondrial gene expression.

Two top autism-linked proteins connect to build cell ‘skeleton’
ADNP and SHANK3 proteins may bind together and alter a neuron’s internal scaffold, hinting at a mechanism that, when disrupted, may underlie several forms of autism.

Autism genetics, explained
The more scientists dig into DNA, the more intricate its contribution to autism seems to be. Here, we unravel the complex genetics of autism.

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.

Double-duty neurons in primary olfactory cortex pick up on more than just scent
The cells recognize not only odors, such as bananas and black licorice—but also images and words associated with those smells, according to single-neuron recordings from 17 people.
