Researchers at the University of Missouri may have uncovered a clue explaining why young adults with autism are roughly six times more likely to develop Parkinson’s disease later in life.

Explore the latest findings in autism research that highlight the importance of brain tissue for understanding neurodevelopmental conditions.

Could the mysteries of cognition be revealed in the interactions between minds, not just the operation of the brain in isolation? This is the question behind two recent studies by Guillaume Dumas, a ...

Researchers identify dopamine transporter abnormalities in young adults with autism, potentially explaining their 6x higher risk of Parkinson’s.

Studies reveal a complex interplay of traits, genes, and brain structure behind the dual diagnosis—raising new questions about how we define and treat both conditions.

Some research suggests that avoiding environmental exposures, especially pre-conception, may help. Influencers branded the idea “trimester zero,” but the science is in early stages.

Currently, there is no way to diagnose children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) until behavioral traits begin to show at around 24 months of age. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ...
