Artist’s impression of a collection of black holes at the heart of a star cluster. Credit: ESA/Hubble, N. Bartmann Since 2015, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration has detected around 85 pairs of colliding black holes. We now know that Einstein was right: gravitational waves are generated by these systems as they wind around each other, warping spacetime …

The hunt for the disrupted brain signals behind autism

Leave a Comment / Genetics / By

Part of understanding the underlying causes of autism spectrum disorders relies on determining which signaling patterns of cells in the brain are disrupted and when, during nervous system development, the disruption occurs. New research results from mouse models of genetic risk for autism support the idea that the loss of a specific gene interferes with …
