Some autism mutations go undetected, new study suggests
Some mutations that contribute to autism and arise spontaneously may be mistaken for inherited mutations.

Massive sequencing project identifies new genetic syndromes
The largest-ever set of sequences from people with developmental delay has revealed 43 new genetic diagnoses.

Mini-brains may pin down key genes in large mutations
Clusters of brain cells — so-called 'mini-brains' grown in the lab — may help researchers understand how large stretches of duplicated or deleted DNA affect the brain.

Mutation types tied to autism converge on shared set of genes
Genes linked to autism in sequencing studies tend be located in long stretches of DNA that are duplicated or missing in some people with developmental conditions.

Some ‘autism genes’ show stronger ties to related conditions
The largest autism sequencing study to date implicates 99 genes in the condition — but nearly half have a tighter link to intellectual disability or developmental delay.

This paper changed my life: Transformative work in addiction neuroscience
A 2011 Nature study found that loss of a nicotinic receptor subunit leads to increased nicotine intake in mice. The work set the standard for how to functionally validate genetic association study findings in neuroscience.
