Our latest work is online today @ScienceAdvances
➡️Brain connectivity in carriers of high risk mutations for #autism and #schizophrenia U-turns across adolescence (hyper -> hypo)
➡️This switch is driven by synaptic remodeling

➡️What's the significance of brain dysconnectivity in developmental disorders?
➡️And what are its underpinnings?
To address these questions we mapped connectivity in carriers of high-risk mutations for autism and schizophrenia➡️tinyurl.com/ytuca74u

Can we use brain scans to identify biologically distinct "autisms"? And If so, how?
In our latest cross-species study 🐭👨we dive into these questions!
