	Experimental therapy helps brain cells bypass genetic deletions Scientists at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have discovered how an experimental therapy can help brain cells overcome the effects of a disease-causing genetic deletion.

	Short-term immunosuppressive therapy briefly restores autism-like brain changes in adult mice A new mouse study led by UCLA Health suggests that inflammation during pregnancy can trigger autism-like changes in offspring, but also that those brain and behavior effects may be rapidly but temporarily reversible in adulthood with a short-term dose of the immunosuppressive drug rapamycin.

			Motor abnormalities may predict multiple mental health disorders Motor issues-such as coordination problems, motor slowing, or sudden, uncontrolled movements-have been recognized as signs of psychological disorders since the 1800s. How they map to mental health conditions, however, remains unknown.

			Sports-based interventions may improve motor skills in children with autism Research suggests that more than half of children with autism spectrum disorder, a neurodevelopmental condition, experience motor impairments.

			Tailored gene therapy dramatically reduces childhood epilepsy seizures in trial SCN2A‑related developmental epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) is a rare, severe form of childhood epilepsy and one of the most common causes of monogenic autism.

	AI tool improves motor imitation assessment for children with autism Researchers at Kennedy Krieger Institute and Penn Engineering announcing the development of an advanced artificial intelligence system that measures a child's ability to imitate simple body movements using ordinary video recordings.

	Study provides a practical recall-by-genotype strategy for precision psychiatry research Clinical biobanks that combine genomic data with electronic health records (EHRs) have become powerful resources for discovering genetic variants associated with disease.
