UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism ...

Four tiny 3D organs connected themselves in a lab dish, forming a replica of the human pain pathway, in a new study. The discovery allows scientists to better understand chronic pain and how pain ...

A new study published in Nature in the paper, “Developmental convergence and divergence in human stem cell models of autism,” provides new insights by demonstrating that while different mutations ...

Voice processing is an evolutionary preserved process. Voice-specific responses are already present in utero and voice-specific brain responses develop early in human life - even before birth, the ...

Supported by a grant, the Auerbach Lab at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology will examine how different genes associated with autism spectrum disorders may similarly impact our ...

Sensory differences are central to autism, influencing how everyday environments are perceived, experienced, and impacting overall well-being. By designing spaces that respect these differences, we ...

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...

According to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about one in 44 children is identified as autistic. Prevalence varies across geographies, but the condition affects ...
