A Distinct Pattern Emerges in The Brain Activity of People With OCD : ScienceAlert

A Distinct Pattern Emerges in The Brain Activity of People With OCD : ScienceAlert

Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) negatively impacts the lives of millions of people worldwide, but more effective treatments could be on the way after researchers were able to identify specific neural biomarkers associated with the condition. These biomarkers are patterns of brain activity present in people with OCD when they’re acting compulsively, and which don’t show up the rest of the time. …

Four autism subtypes map onto distinct genes, traits

Four autism subtypes map onto distinct genes, traits

Autism has long been seen as a single—if highly heterogeneous—condition. But rather than one continuous spectrum, there are distinct autism subtypes, each tied to its own genetic signature, a new study suggests. The research, published 9 July in the journal Nature Genetics, connects genetic differences to specific patterns in how autism traits appear, supporting the notion that there are “many …

Four Distinct Autism Subtypes Identified

Four Distinct Autism Subtypes Identified

By leveraging a person-centered computational approach to phenotypic data from more than 5000 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), researchers have identified four biologically and clinically distinct subtypes of autism and their underlying genetic signals. These four subtypes are: Social and Behavioral Challenges, Mixed ASD with Developmental Delay, Moderate Challenges, and Broadly Affected. “It’s important for families to have groups …

Even Neanderthals had distinct preferences when it came to making dinner, study suggests | Neanderthals

Nothing turns up the heat in a kitchen quite like debating the best way to chop an onion. Now researchers have found even our prehistoric cousins had distinct preferences when it came to preparing food. Archaeologists studying animal bones recovered from two caves in northern Israel have found different groups of Neanderthals, living at around the same time, butchered the …
