Open Highlights: In Search of Autism’s Roots

Published October 11, 2016 Curated Collections

This Open Highlights Collection explores recent research investigating the neurodevelopmental origins of autism spectrum disorder and efforts to help those with associated health problems. Open Highlights use recent PLOS Biology research articles as keystones around which to nucleate a short synthesis of up to ten related research articles from other PLOS journals and from the wider Open Access corpus.
