HealthDay (11/3, Thompson) reports, “Autism is a more comprehensive disorder than previously thought, and appears to arise from brain changes located throughout the cerebral cortex, not just in specific areas,” researchers concluded after examining “the genetics in 11 cortical regions by sequencing RNA from brain tissue samples gathered from 112 people after death,” then comparing “what they found to the genetics of healthy brain tissue.” The findings were published online Nov. 2 in the journal Nature.
