- A population-based assessment of conditions linked to recurrent copy number variants shows a lower likelihood of having autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or schizophrenia than do previous estimates based on case-control studies. JAMA Psychiatry
- Sex-biased gene expression in several regions of the rhesus monkey brain is regulated by sex hormones. Expression patterns are similar to those of humans. Cell Genomics
- Parent-infant interactions—particularly the baby’s attentiveness to their parent—at ages 8 and 14 months appear to be predictive of autism diagnosis at 3 years. Autism Research
- Bumetanide, a diuretic drug that blocks NKCC1 chloride transport proteins, mitigates the altered neuronal activity and sensory hypersensitivity that occurs in a mouse model of fragile X syndrome. Biological Psychiatry
- Researchers returned results on a genetic analysis of autism-linked genes in a cohort of 21,532 autistic people. Genetic in Medicine
- Autistic children are more likely than their non-autistic peers to have physical and mental health problems; those from minoritized racial and ethnic groups tend to have even poorer outcomes. Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology
