Single-nucleus multi-omics sequencing across genetically diverse ASD mouse models revealed convergent molecular and cellular changes in early brain development, despite distinct underlying mutations.

Sleep midpoint variability, duration variability, and social jetlag were each associated with lower receptive vocabulary and visuospatial memory scores in 379 preschool-age children, with executive attention unaffected by any sleep regularity measure.

Approach-withdrawal behavioral patterns — including dysregulated negative affect and resistance to routine change — showed moderate associations with co-occurring internalizing and externalizing symptoms in a cohort of 280 children with autism.

The study objectives were to compare the outcomes of 6-year-old children of women with epilepsy (WWE) vs those of healthy pregnant women (HW), and to assess the association of outcomes to third-trimester antiseizure medications (ASM) exposures.

“If acetaminophen is the safest among available options but pregnant women are advised to avoid it because of the risk of ASD and ADHD in exposed offspring, then they are caught between a rock and a hard place.”

Progress in perinatal care has improved survival for children born very preterm (VPT), but these children remain at higher risk of cognitive impairment compared with children born at term.
