Salk Researchers Find Hallmarks of Early Brain Overgrowth in Cells of People with Autism

Caption

Neurons derived from people with autism spectrum disorder, shown in the bottom panel, form fewer inhibitory connections, shown in the red stain, compared to those derived from healthy individuals (top panel). The total number of neurons that researchers were able to generate was about the same between the two groups.
