Research conducted at the Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) in Australia also found NRXN1 in three species of Nasonia wasps, and isolated the gene which produces neuroligin protein, believed to cause autism and schizo...

Stern said he first realized there could be a common link between Type 2 diabetes and autism a few years ago, but he assumed someone else had already thought of the idea. Stern's lab, which is located at Rice's BioScience Research Collaborative, specializes in investigating the genetic intera...
"Genes are a very important influencer in determining how brain disorders such as addiction, ADHD, autism, major depression and schizophrenia develop—but they are not the sole cause. In identical twins, the risk that both twins develop the same disorder is much less than 100 percent, even tho...
From the suspected autism of Michelangelo, bipolar tendencies of Sylvia Path and depression of Abraham Lincoln, there are plenty of suppositions to be made. In the end, what I really found interesting was the connection between mental illness and intellect at either end of the spectru...

People who are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are at increased risk of suicidal behaviour compared to the general population; recent population-based studies demonstrate a three- to sevenfold increased risk of premature death by suicide. T

Moreover, maternal inflammatory status (eg obesity, asthma, autoimmune disease, infection and psychosocial stress) can trigger the incidence of neurodevelopmental diseases, including autism spectrum disorder and ADHD in offspring [134]. This is in line with intergenerational psychiatry hypothesis suggesting...
