Autism May Begin With Shared Brain Development Changes, Study Finds A major study published in Nature suggests that many different autism-related genes may affect the developing brain in surprisingly similar ways. Researchers analyzed more than 200,000 brain cells from 11 different autism mouse models and found that, despite the genetic differences, many showed common disruptions during early brain development. One of the key findings was a temporary delay in the maturation of brain cells responsible for generating neurons. The rese
