Visual search in ADHD, ASD and ASD + ADHD: overlapping or dissociating disorders?

This debate requires systematic comparisons between these disorders that have been studied in isolation in the past, employing potential markers of each disorder to be investigated in tandem.

Read article

Analysis for a new perspective leading to a greater understanding of the relationship between this syndrome and broader, better-studied conditions such as autism, neurodiversity, and giftedness.

Read article

Impact of antipsychotics in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

This review was conducted to provide the necessary evidence to inform the Italian national guidelines for the management of ASD with the use of antipsychotics.

Read article

Systematic evaluation of genome sequencing for the diagnostic assessment of autism spectrum disorder and fetal structural anomalies.

Short-read genome sequencing (GS) including in this study sequence variants in exons not captured by ES, structural variants (SVs) inaccessible to existing standard-of-care tests and SVs where the resolution of GS changed variant classification.

Read article

Explainable GASTCN Framework for EEG-Based Autism Spectrum Disorder Diagnosis.

This study introduces the Graphical Attention Spectral Temporal Convolutional Network (GASTCN), an explainable deep learning model that integrates temporal, spectral, and graphical EEG features for ASD classification.

Read article

Epigenome-wide analysis identifies DNA methylation signatures associated with the infant pupillary light reflex, a candidate intermediate phenotype for autism.

These insights into the biological underpinnings of this reflex support PLR as an early intermediate phenotype associated with autism.

Read article

Interest paradigm for early identification of autism spectrum disorder: an analysis from electroencephalography combined with eye tracking.

This study aimed to identify objective biomarkers for ASD by integrating electroencephalography (EEG) and eye-tracking (ET) to analyze toddlers' visual attention and cortical responses to RI versus neutral interest (NI) objects.

Read article

Differential DNA methylation of autistic children enriches evidence for genes associated with ASD and new candidate genes.

This study found hundreds of DNA regions with different methylation in children with autism, suggesting a direct association between methylation and gene expression related to ASD.

Read article

Epigenetic regulation of synaptic genes contributes to the etiology of autism.

Review of how epigenetic mechanisms (including methylation) influence synaptic genes and may contribute to autism.

Read article

Hippocampal and peripheral blood DNA methylation signatures correlate at the gene and pathway level in a mouse model of autism.

This study demonstrates a correlation between methylation in peripheral tissues and brain gene expression in an autism model.

Read article

Imbalance of GABA/Glutamate Neuron Differentiation and Increased AKT/mTOR Signaling in CNTNAP2 Brain Organoids.

Study in human organoids shows that the lack of the CNTNAP2 gene alters glutamatergic and GABAergic pathways, highlighting its role in neurodevelopment.

Read article
