Background Previous research identified an Ehlers-Danlos (EDS)-like phenotype in fragile X premutation (FXPC) women. This preliminary research examines associations between the presence of this connec...

This cohort study investigates incidence trends of autism spectrum disorder from 2016 to 2024 to quantify the temporal patterns before and after diagnostic substitution and the COVID-19 pandemic.

A minority of Neandertal-derived alleles persists in the modern human genome, contributing to neurodivergence, including autism, as well as other cognitive traits. These introgressed variants may be ...

You no longer need to be a software engineer to build software — you can "vibe code" it by prompting chatbots to build apps and websites. Could that put programmers out of a job?

🧬 Uncover the mystery of Neanderthal genetic bottlenecks! Learn how these ancient humans faced significant population declines and what it reveals about the...

Join us for an enlightening episode of “The Story of Us” YouTube series as we sit down with Dr. Emily Casanova, an assistant professor of neuroscience at Loyola University New Orleans. Dr. Casanova’s groundbreaking research delves into the intricate connections between brain evolution, Neanderthal DNA, and autism in modern humans. In this interview, Dr. Casanova shares her insights on: • How Neanderthal genetic variants influence autism susceptibility in contemporary populations. • The evolutionary impact of ancient human hybridization on brain development and function. • The significance of her findings for understanding the complexity of autism and related conditions. Discover how the legacy of our ancient ancestors continues to shape human health and development today. This episode is a must-watch for anyone interested in genetics, anthropology, and the cutting-edge intersections of neuroscience and evolutionary biology.

Their legacy lives on.
