In a groundbreaking study, a New York University Langone research team believes they have honed in on the brain pathways of a genetically determined repetitive motor behavior that is linked to autism.

To fully characterize the neural underpinnings of autism, it may be necessary to view it as a disorder of connections between brain regions rather than at the level of a single region. From this ...

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — There is much that scientists don't know about autism. They don't know, for example, why the complicated, vexing disorder has become more common. In 2000, the Centers for Disease ...
