A massive update to the MSSNG dataset gives qualified researchers ready access to explore autism’s genetic architecture on a cloud-based platform.
Autism’s sex bias disappears after tracking trajectories | Spectrum | Autism Research News
The male sex bias in autism may in large part be a product of how common diagnostic tools measure traits in boys versus girls at a single point in time, according to a new study.
The brain’s early visual areas reflect autism’s heritability | Spectrum | Autism Research News
Inherited genetic factors for autism influence brain development, new studies of autistic children and their younger siblings reveal.
Structural brain changes foretell language skills in autistic infants | Spectrum | Autism Research News
Increased white-matter maturation tracks with stronger language abilities later in childhood, but the relationship with cortical thickness is less clear.
