	Kids with autism and ADHD show different cognition–behavior patterns than single diagnoses Research on children with autism and ADHD shows distinct cognitive and behavioral patterns, suggesting comorbidity may require unique intervention approaches.

	Brain network predicts how quickly we adapt to social behavior Humans often adapt their behavior to that of other people with lightning speed. A new study by the University of Zurich reveals what brain networks govern social mentalization and adaptation, making it possible to predict how flexibly one person reacts to others.

			Largest genetic study classifies 14 psychiatric disorders into five major groups Although mental disorders have multifactorial causes, genetics can explain some of them, yet this field remains largely unexplored in terms of guiding diagnoses and treatments.

			Scientists show gut bacteria can reach the brain in mice and reveal a potential vagus nerve pathway Researchers found that very small numbers of gut bacteria can translocate to the brain in mice, particularly when gut barrier permeability increases due to a Paigen diet. Evidence suggests the vagus nerve may serve as a partial route for this gut-to-brain microbial movement.

	Long-read whole genome sequencing uncovers new genetic variants linked to autism Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using long-read whole genome sequencing (LR-WGS), an emerging approach that reads large sections of the genome at once, making it easier for scientists to find new genetic variants and understand how genetic variants affect the function of a gene.

	Study highlights benefits of specialist resource centers for autistic pupils Specialist resource centers (a form of 'Inclusion Base') within mainstream secondary schools may be linked to stronger academic progress, improved attendance, and a greater sense of belonging for autistic pupils, according to a new three-year study from the University of Surrey.

	Newsom picks a dogfight with Trump and RFK Jr. on public health California Gov. Gavin Newsom has positioned himself as a national public health leader by staking out science-backed policies in contrast with the Trump administration.

	Republicans fret over RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine policies while MAHA moms stew Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is fielding pressure from the White House to relax his controversial approach to vaccine policies as the midterms near, but his most steadfast supporters are pressing for more aggressive action — like restricting covid-19 vaccines and pesticide use — to carry out the Make America Healthy Again agenda.
