Trends in Autism Spectrum Disorder Cumulative Incidence and Incidence Density: A Systematic Review
Claims of an “autism epidemic” imply a true increase in ASD occurrence and changing underlying risk yet largely rely on rising prevalence estimates rather than incidence. Both measures are influenced by diagnostic practices, service access, documentation, and ascertainment; prevalence is…

Therapeutic Functions in Large Language Model Responses to Emotional Disclosures: Qualitative Content Analysis
Background: Millions of people now use general-purpose large language models (LLMs) for mental health support, yet how these models respond to emotional disclosures and whether their responses functionally resemble established therapeutic practices remain uncharacterized. Objective: This study aimed to characterize…
Case Report: A novel hemizygous nonsense variant in PPP1R3F gene associated with developmental delay, intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder
BackgroundPPP1R3F deficiency syndrome is an extremely rare, recently identified X-linked recessive neurodevelopmental disorder. It is caused by hemizygous variants in the PPP1R3F gene, which encodes a glycogen-targeting subunit of the brain-specific protein phosphatase 1 (PP1). Dysfunction of PPP1R3F disrupts glycogen…
A progenitor with immature Bergmann glia-like characteristics in the developing cerebellar cortex
The cerebellum is an ancient brain component, conserved across mammalian species, that has classically played roles in regulating muscle tone, limb coordination, and equilibrium, as well as in non-motor functions, such as language, cognition, and emotion. Recently, we reported Nestin-expressing…
Research progress on developmental characteristics and clinical intervention of restricted and repetitive interests/behaviors in autism spectrum disorder across the lifespan: a narrative review
Restricted and repetitive interests/behaviors (RRBs) are a core symptom domain of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), with a significant impact on social interaction, learning, and overall functioning of autistic individuals.

Brain Quality Control Selectively Eliminates Neurons with Abnormal Variants in Development
In developing fetuses, the human brain generates an excess of neurons, most of which are eliminated around when the baby is born. New research suggests that this is an important quality-control mechanism. The post Brain Quality Control Selectively Eliminates Neurons…
