Hundreds of Autism Genes, Two Brain States: What the New Science Study Shows

A September 2026 study in Science found that mice carrying very different autism-risk mutations fall into just two opposite patterns of brain gene activity. It changes how researchers think about autism's diversity. It does not create autism subtypes, tests or treatments.

Chronic Pain and Mental Health: What the 2025 Research Actually Says

A viral post says chronic pain and depression share the same brain circuits. It is right, and a 2025 review of nearly a million people shows how common the overlap is, including in ADHD, autism and PTSD. The treatment evidence is thinner than you might hope.

A Brainstem "Attention Filter" and ADHD: What the Mouse Study Really Shows

A viral post says researchers found a brainstem attention filter that may explain ADHD. The study is real and published in Nature Communications. But it was done in mice, and it contains no one with ADHD.

1 in 6 Chronic Pain Patients Has ADHD Traits. Most Don't Know It.

A 2026 University of Tokyo study screened 958 chronic pain patients and found ADHD traits in 17.1% of them - 2.4 times the general population rate. The link runs through anxiety, depression, and pain catastrophizing.

Autism Genes and Brain Pathways: What the Yale 2026 Study Found

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.

Epigenetics and Mental Health: Can Trauma Be Written Into Our Genes?

Trauma, stress and environment do not change your DNA sequence, but they can change how your genes are switched on or off. Here is what the latest research says about epigenetics, PTSD, depression, schizophrenia and ADHD, and what it does not say.
