One third of children who have autism spectrum disorder also have epilepsy. It's related to an autism risk gene. But scientists didn't now why the mutation, catnap2, caused seizures. Now scientists have discovered the mutation shrinks the neurons' dendrite arbors and synapses that enable brain cells to relay vital messages. The 'Calm down!' message gets lost in the brain, causing neurons to spin out of control. Drugs could soon be tested to reverse seizures, language delay...

Autism typically involves the inability to read social cues. We most often associate this with visual difficulty in interpreting facial expression, but new research suggests that the sense of smell may also play a central role in autism.
