Anthony-Samuel LaMantia, Thomas Maynard and colleagues show that a mouse model of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome has fewer long-distance cortico-cortical connections, which is caused in part by mitochondrial dysfunction.

Two studies from Brigitta Monz, Richard Houghton and colleagues provide examples of the effectiveness of SPARK’s research match program to rapidly recruit thousands of individuals for the large-scale testing of research questions.

Peter Kind and colleagues show that brief treatment with lovastatin results in sustained correction of physiological and behavioral deficits in a rat model of fragile X syndrome.

Using single-nucleus RNA sequencing of postmortem cortical tissue from individuals with ASD, Arnold Kriegstein and colleagues identify upper-layer excitatory neurons and microglia as key cell types affected in ASD.

New data were recently added to SFARI Gene. This data release included the addition of new genes and copy number variant loci associated with autism. New mouse and rat models were also added.

Two SFARI Investigators are among the 100 newly elected members of the National Academy of Sciences.
