A range of presentations at Neuroscience 2022 tie atypical social behavior to trouble discriminating between odors in the animals.

Scott describes his work on sound processing differences in the brains of zebrafish that model fragile X syndrome.

Data from two separate research teams suggest the cells are key to sensory hypersensitivity in fragile X syndrome.

After a brain transplant of reprogrammed human cells, the animals can for the first time recapitulate some neuronal changes seen in people with fragile X syndrome.

People with the autism-linked syndrome lack a protein implicated in several cancers, but it’s unclear whether — or how — they are protected from malignancies.

A 341-repeat mutation from a person with fragile X does not lead to the syndrome’s traits or function the same way in mice, highlighting a need for different animal models.

A researcher’s existential crisis led to a scientific breakthrough.

An overabundance of ribosomes drives an imbalance of proteins produced from long and short genetic transcripts in a mouse model of fragile X syndrome.

Long cast in supporting roles in the brain, astrocytes are now emerging as primary players in certain characteristics of autism and related conditions.

Of nine genetic models examined in a new study, all had some incidence of cardiac abnormalities. But the problems varied widely depending on the affected genes.
