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

The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) protein, a member of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-related protein kinase (PIKK) family, has a central role in two growth-regulatory pathways that have ...

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 discovered that mutations in the FOXJ3 gene act as a "master switch" failure, disrupting how the brain builds its layers and leading to FCD, a primary cause of drug-resistant epilepsy ...
