A new study discovers how nitric oxide triggers a biochemical domino effect in the brain, leading to mTOR overactivation in autism.

Researchers have uncovered a surprising molecular chain reaction in the brain that may play a role in some forms of autism.

Scientists have mapped a direct link between a common brain gas and the hyperactive cell growth often seen in autism. Protecting a specific protein from this gas normalized behavior in animal models ...

Think of the brain as a city with traffic lights that keep signals flowing smoothly. In a new study, researchers followed a clue about nitric oxide, a common chemical messenger, and found that, in ...
