Grzadzinski et al. compared cognition, behavior and brain anatomy in children with #Down, #autism and controls. Those with #Down had lower cognitive but similar adaptive skills compared to the #autism group. The latter correlated with cerebellum volume in the #Down group only.

Attenuated processing of vowels in the left temporal cortex predicts speech-in-noise perception deficit in children with autism - Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders Background Difficulties with speech-in-noise perception in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) may be associated with impaired analysis of speech sounds, such as vowels, which represent the fundamental ph...

Fadeev et al. report magnetoencephalography (MEG) findings indicating differences in processing vowel sounds in children with #autism, which may contribute to challenges in understanding speech in background noise. Check it out 👇

Effects of a ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) small-molecule peptide mimetic in an in vitro and in vivo model of CDKL5 deficiency disorder - Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders Background Mutations in the X-linked CDKL5 gene underlie a severe epileptic encephalopathy, CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD), characterized by gross motor impairment, autistic features and intellectual...

Pathogenic variants in CDKL5 cause an X-linked variable neurodevelopmental disorder with seizures, autism and cognitive impairment. Mottolese et al. report in vitro&vivo effects of a ciliary neurotrophic factor-like peptide on neuronal growth.

Investigating social orienting in children with Phelan-McDermid syndrome and ‘idiopathic’ autism - Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders Background Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS) is a rare genetic syndrome characterized by developmental delay/intellectual disability, absent or delayed speech, physical dysmorphic features and high rates...

Eva Loth and team examined orienting to social versus non-social stimuli in children with #Phelan-McDermid, caused by a deleterious variant in #SHANK3, compared to autistic (idiopathic) and neurotypical children.
