Emily Jones is professor of translational neurodevelopment at the Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development at Birkbeck, University of London in the United Kingdom. Her research efforts center on the neurodevelopmental pathways that lead to autism. She is involved with a number of early-intervention studies for infants with siblings with autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Connecting autism-linked genetic variation to infant social behavior
Integrating genetic analyses into studies of babies’ brain development could help us understand how autism-related genes contribute to autism traits.

Loss of interneuron plasticity may be shared hallmark of neurodevelopmental conditions
Restoring an experience-dependent interneuron plasticity gene in adulthood improves memory and cuts seizures in CNTNAP2 knockout mice, a new study shows.

Neuropsychiatric MRI brain signatures fail reproducibility test
Small neuroimaging studies are unlikely to capture consistent anatomical changes related to conditions such as autism, schizophrenia and mood disorders, according to a new “wake-up call” study.
