Scientists have mapped a direct link between a common brain gas and the hyperactive cell growth often seen in autism. Protecting a specific protein from this gas normalized behavior in animal models ...

Researchers have uncovered a surprising molecular chain reaction in the brain that may play a role in some forms of autism.

A hidden molecular chain reaction in the brain may push key cellular systems into overdrive in autism—and scientists just found a way to switch it off.

Studies from one ASU lab seek to better understand how neurological conditions, such as autism, affect how the brain ages, and there are meaningful ways to participate for anyone who is interested.

Perhaps no other analogy has done as much to illustrate brain function as the now-famous 1987 public service announcement aimed at reducing narcotics use. But Dr. Rajesh Kana, associate professor in ...
