...that effort is beginning to pay off. The largest genetic study of autism ever attempted - involving more than 3,000 participants from AGRE, 1,453 cases from other sources and over 7,000 additional control subjects - identified genetic variations in a region of chromosome 5 that appears to play a pivotal role in about 15% of cases of autism. What makes this region particularly fascinating is that it seems to regulate gene-coding for proteins that are essential to forming connections in the brain. This fits well with earlier research - including imaging and autopsy studies - that suggest autism is essentially...

...numerous other institutions, looked at a specific kind of genetic change: deletions and duplications of genes. While there are many such changes associated with autism, most are very rare. This paper, however, found an intriguing pattern among two genes already linked to autism and nine newly identified targets. Most play a role in two key systems in the brain. One is the same brain-wiring system - neural cell adhesion - implicated in the first paper. The second is a set of housekeeping proteins - the ubiquitin system - that whisk away old brain connections and set the stage for new ones...

...then make your move. Odds are they will be in a better mood and agree to be your personal babysitter for the next year. 3. Should you fail at achieving your goal (or simply be too lazy to find your own advisor), some departments will be nice enough to play matchmaker rather than screw you over. Or at least that’s what FM would like to think they are doing...

...most recent letter to students, she writes that the “threshold for approval to return to campus in January 2010 will be high” due to the reduced housing staff and limited dining space. We certainly understand that financial and logistical constraints will play a role in how these rules are crafted, but we hope that the College will explore other cost-saving measures in the interests of maximizing students’ opportunities. For example, if food costs are a constraint, perhaps the College can offer a housing-only option with no meal plan to those students...
