DNA tags in placenta point to possible autism-linked gene
The gene, dubbed NHIP, is in a chromosomal region that shows unusually low levels of DNA methylation in placentas from women who gave birth to autistic children.

Mutations in autism gene may trigger milder effects than does its loss
People with mutations in SHANK3 have milder features than do those missing a chunk of DNA that includes the gene.

Wi-Fi flap; obsessive-compulsive link; brain catalog and more
Two researchers balk at talk that Wi-Fi and autism are linked, changes in an autism risk gene are tied to obsessive-compulsive traits in three species, and scientists plan to conduct a census of all of the brain’s cell types.

Family groups play key role in advancing autism research
Families need more support from researchers in order for their heroic efforts to be optimally effective.

Rare form of autism shows unique pattern of regression
More than 40 percent of children with Phelan-McDermid syndrome lose skills they once had, beginning, on average, at age 6.

New role for autism gene extends treatment possibilities
The autism-linked gene SHANK3 is known for its role at neuronal junctions, but it has another function that could serve as a drug target.

Clinical research: Autism-related syndrome changes with age
Many characteristics of Phelan-McDermid syndrome — an autism-linked disorder arising from abnormalities at the tip of chromosome 22q13 — change as individuals age.

Este artigo mudou minha vida: adotando um dos primeiros modelos de neurociência naturalística
Um artigo publicado na PNAS em 1992 mostrou que o canto das aves aumenta a expressão de um gene de resposta imediata no prosencéfalo dessas aves. O estudo revelou a Ribeiro a importância de investigar as respostas moleculares em contextos naturalísticos.
