Autism
Researchers from Istanbul Medipol University have made a significant breakthrough in understanding the genetic basis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In a study published in Clinical Medicine Insights: Case Reports, the team identified a novel role of the DRP2 gene in ASD, expanding its phenotypic spectrum beyond neuropathy. The findings
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Researchers have made significant progress in understanding the neural correlates of prediction errors in individuals with ADHD and ASD. A recent study published in Imaging Neuroscience suggests that prediction error modifications are domain specific in ASD but domain general in ADHD. This research has important implications for the diagnosis and
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
As the understanding of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) evolves, researchers are increasingly exploring the concept of camouflaging, which has traditionally been associated with autism spectrum disorder. A new preprint abstract suggests that the notion of camouflaging in ADHD is theoretically and neurocognitively flawed, with motivational, computational, and measurement incompatibilities. The
Autism
A groundbreaking study published in the International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience has shed new light on the relationship between nucleated red blood cell (nRBC) count and the severity of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in preschool children. The research, conducted by Gulhane Training and Research Hospital in Ankara, Turkiye, analyzed the
Autism
A new research study conducted by Georgia State University has provided groundbreaking findings in understanding the neural mechanisms underlying mental illnesses, particularly Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and schizophrenia. The study, published in Biological Psychiatry, involved analyzing resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from a large multisite dataset comprising 5805
Autism
Research conducted at Imperial College London suggests that off-licence psychotropic use in people with intellectual disability and/or autism is a significant public health issue in England. The study aimed to understand the views of psychiatrists and non-psychiatrists on psychotropic medication optimization for this population. A cross-sectional survey of 13
Teachers
Southeastern Oklahoma State University (SE) has launched a new Master of Education concentration in Special Education with a focus on Autism and Developmental Disabilities. This program is designed to address the critical shortage of special education teachers across the nation. With over half of school districts and 80 percent of

Researchers in Serbia conducted a study to explore the attitudes of parents towards the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, which has had a low coverage rate in the country, leading to several outbreaks with 15 fatal outcomes over the past two decades. The study aimed to understand the reasons behind the low

Researchers from Vanderbilt University Brain Institute have published a study on the importance of multisensory integration in understanding the neural and behavioral underpinnings of autism and schizophrenia. The study found that differences in multisensory integration (MSI) ability are a common factor in both conditions, despite their often described opposing characteristics.

Research conducted at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has revealed crucial insights into the unique needs of autistic adolescents when it comes to independent driving. According to the study, semi-structured interviews with 16-24 year olds with autism and their caregivers highlighted four central themes: motivation and readiness to
