A genome-wide association study lays a foundation for deeper investigation of these variants in neurodevelopmental conditions.

The underlying regional neurobiology of the conditions may differ from person to person.

An imbalance in the number of excitatory neurons in early brain development may account for the difference.

A new individualized approach to transcranial magnetic stimulation may one day be an effective treatment for social and communication difficulties, if the results from Duan’s small preliminary trial pan out.

Synaptic changes in the brain region could drive a core trait of fragile X syndrome, a new mouse study suggests.

Voles reared primarily by their fathers show altered synapse density.

The Holland Bloorview clinician and research director discusses how growing up on a small island shaped her career and the existential questions that keep her up at night.

A protective pathway that pauses protein synthesis is muted in a mouse model of fragile X syndrome, according to a new study.

Brain scans of hundreds of infants suggest that up to 80 percent of those with autism have unusual amounts of cerebrospinal fluid. Researchers are studying how this might contribute to the condition.

The new devices, which monitor neural activity from within blood vessels, show long-term stability in rats and could one day deliver electrical stimulation.
