The images show representative neurons from unaffected brains (left) and brains from autistic patients (right); the spines on the neurons indicate the location of synapses (Photo courtesy of Guomei Tang, PhD and Mark S. Sonders, PhD, Columbia University Medical Center).

Autistic Youngsters Found to Have Too Many Brain Synapses

Autistic children and adolescents have been shown to have an excess of brain synapses, and this is due to a slowdown in the normal brain “trimming” process during development, according to new findings.   More...

CT Scan Casts Doubt on Hominid Child’s Brain Development Is Similar to That of Modern Humans

By undergoing advanced CT scanning, the skull of the famous fossil child is providing evidence for researchers against the human evolutionary hypotheses that the hominid Australopithecus africanus shows the same cranial adaptations found in modern human infants and toddlers.  More...
