Evidence-based articles about ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia and neurodevelopmental conditions.
A viral post claims autism and schizophrenia are natural byproducts of the genes that made human intelligence possible. There is a real 2024/2025 study behind this - but the researchers themselves are far more cautious than the post lets on, and one of its central claims doesn't hold up at all.
TPH1/TPH2, SLC6A4, HTR1/HTR2 - serotonin gene explainers are everywhere right now. Some of it is textbook-accurate. Some of it is one researcher's theory presented as settled fact. And serotonin isn't even ADHD's primary biology - here's where it actually matters.
A 2022 study found children with ADHD had higher rates of intestinal parasites, and a large Israeli cohort of 50,000+ children found more infections overall. Real findings - but not proof that parasites cause ADHD, and definitely not a reason to try deworming as treatment.
Around 1 in 3 autistic people have gastrointestinal problems, and gut symptoms track with sensory, sleep and behavioral difficulties. The gut-brain axis is real science - but "diets that cure autism" are not. An honest, sourced breakdown.
Over 100 genes are linked to autism. A landmark 2026 study found they all disrupt the developing brain in the same way :at the same critical windows. Here is what that means.
A 2026 Science study forced lab-grown human neurons to fire and captured their genetic activity in real time. The finding: genes linked to ADHD, autism and other brain conditions are not always on - they are context-specific.
ADHD emerges from the interaction of three forces: genes, brain biology, and early environment. Understanding all three shifts the conversation from blame to precision.
New research shows that hundreds of genes are linked to autism, but what matters most may not be which gene is involved, it's the shared brain pathway those genes disrupt. Here's what the latest science reveals.
Chronic stress is a risk factor for depression and anxiety, partly because it damages myelin - the brain's insulation. Here is what the research says about sleep, movement and even intermittent fasting.
A 2026 study of thousands of children found that socioeconomic factors - not genes - were the single strongest influence on brain organization, acting through sleep, stress and arousal. Here is what it means.
New research in Nature Neuroscience points to two distinct autism brain profiles - hypo- and hyperconnectivity. What it means (and what it does not).
ADHD is not about willpower. Discover how dopamine, reward and brain networks shape attention and motivation.
A major 2025 Cell study finds ADHD stimulants act on the brain's arousal and reward systems, not its attention networks. Here is what that means.
A 2025 brain-imaging study shows autism and ADHD share the same wiring. The severity of autistic traits, not the diagnosis, shapes the brain.
Artist Sue Morgan draws her hallucinations to get them out of her head. Clinician Sukhi Shergill uses MRI to look inside the brains of people living with schizophrenia. A short Nature documentary.
Forget what you thought you knew about serotonin. The real driver of most mental illness may be a fire burning inside your brain - and 2025 science just confirmed it.
Cutting-edge research shows a striking link between gut bacteria and neurodivergent conditions. Here is what scientists have discovered, and what it means for you.
Science confirms it: diet directly influences dopamine, attention and impulsivity in ADHD. Discover the foods, deficiencies and strategies that change everything.
