Autism BrainNet is composed of a network of scientific institutions, called nodes, that follow the high standards set by Autism BrainNet to collect, process, store and distribute the precious gift of donated brain tissue to qualified researchers worldwide.

Hundreds of genes have been linked to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk. But these genes explain only a small portion of cases. This recent study provides insights into a process in which gene activity could be affected in ASD.

Autism BrainNet deeply appreciates the Gift of Hope bestowed by families to advance research. We cherish our donors’ memory and dedicate this page to them.
