Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDs) affect brain function, leading to challenges in social, cognitive, and emotional areas. They often start in childhood and persist into adulthood. Autism and ADHD are ...

Researchers have identified how variations in a gene called TRIO can influence brain functions and result in distinct neurodevelopmental diseases. The study, published in the journal eLife, could pave ...

A group of 20 patients with undiagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders ranging from severe to mild has now received a genetic diagnosis thanks to an international team of researchers at the GREGoR ...

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) approach that accelerates the identification of genes that contribute to neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, ...

Neurodevelopmental disorders encompass a broad range of conditions that manifest in early childhood and affect the development of the nervous system, leading to impairments in cognition, communication ...

Researchers have found that motor delay and low muscle tone were common signs of an underlying genetic diagnosis in children with neurodevelopment disorders. In a new study, UCLA Health researchers ...

Bipolar disorder impairs cognition, damages the brain, and leads to dementia—or does it? New research flips the story.

Jane, Julie, and Jemma are 6-year-old classmates. The three girls show several similarities in behaviour and cognition. All three struggle with starting new tasks, task-switching, sustaining attention ...

Pathologic changes of the X-chromosome gene for dystrophin give rise to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and dystrophin -- which minimizes muscle fiber loss due to sarcolemma contraction damage when ...

Exposure to SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy was associated with a 29% greater risk of neurodevelopmental diagnosis by age 3 years. The largest effects were observed in third-trimester exposures, ...
