Researchers discovered that autism’s prevalence may be linked to human brain evolution. Specific neurons in the outer brain evolved rapidly, and autism-linked genes changed under natural selection.

The findings have the potential to resolve the longstanding "Muddle in the Middle" of human evolution, researchers said.

New research suggests that the evolution of the human brain may explain why autism is more common in humans than in other ...

Researchers discovered that certain human brain cells evolved unusually fast, altering autism-linked gene activity.
