A new survey from @autismbrainnet reveals a striking disconnect: 92% of Americans say autism brain research is important, yet 70% have never heard of brain donation.

Enormous thanks to our supervisors Stephan Sanders and @LabNowakowski, our co-authors, the @SimonsFdn for supporting this work and the @AutismBrainNet resource. Most importantly, thank you to the donors and their families, without whom this work would not have been possible.

Kathy Stein shared in episode 222 of the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast that she'd like to invent a 'compassion pill' and encourages #familycaregivers to consider brain donation to advance #autism research. Listen or watch bit.ly/HHCPod222

Family Caregiver, Kathy Stein, walks us through the brain donation process, her idea for a “compassion pill,” and the creative way she stays active through her beloved “big box walking” routine. #asd #autism #caregiving bit.ly/HHCPod222 @AutismBrainNet

The American Printing House for the Blind Abacus Bee brings blind and low vision youth together for a friendly national #math competition, centered around the use of an ancient tool: the abacus. This video features participants Isaiah and Xia Qiang and their parents, who speak on their experiences with the Bee and why their participation is meaningful to them: simonsfoundation.org/2025/06…

A large-scale study has found that autistic individuals face a significantly higher risk of developing Parkinson’s disease before the age of 50. The research suggests that the two conditions may share biological mechanisms related to brain function.

Studies of rare neurodevelopmental disorders are most successful when researchers and communities of affected individuals and their loved ones work together. To this end, we are funding 18 patient advocacy group conferences, with a focus on those in the @s_searchlight community: sfari.org/2025/05/12/sfari-t… #science

An analysis of 20 autism mouse models point to two subtypes: One displaying out-of-sync brain activity and impaired synaptic pathways, the other with too much synchrony and dysregulated immune pathways.

A new CDC report finds that 1 in 31 U.S. 8-year-olds were #diagnosed with #autism in 2022, a rise attributed to improved #awareness and #screening, underscoring the need for continued investment in support and research.

Remarkable new research findings from @Sergiu_P_Pasca which creates a model of the spinothalamic pathway, opening up opportunities to treat not just pain, but sensory issues in those with #autism. This approach is critical to autism research and has enormous potential.
Today in @Nature, we report human sensory #assembloids—the most complex 3D assembloids to date—comprising four integrated parts to recapitulate aspects of the spinothalamic pathway that processes pain stimuli. We use this model to investigate cellular/early circuit level features of genetic pain syndromes. More details to follow.
Work pioneered in the lab by the brilliant Ji-il Kim and Kent Imaizumi, and in close collaboration with @GregScherrer25!
