Development and characterisation of novel oxytocin analogues for PET imaging - Communications Chemistry
The oxytocin/oxytocin receptor (OT/OTR) signalling system is a promising therapeutic target for socioemotional disorders, yet its clinical potential is limited by a lack of in vivo molecular tools. He...

@AutismINSAR really impressed about the number of people attending the #ProfoundAutism interest group discussion.
It’s packed- clearly there is major interest in the field for its use

🧠 Neurodevelopmental conditions like #Autism, #ADHD & more share overlapping traits. A transdiagnostic framework could unlock new treatments & better support for children.

Thank you @_TheTransmitter publishing our work on advantages of a transdiagnostic approach to neurodevelopment
We believe the approach will facilitate access to core supports to children faster, to a greater number and the quality of science for mechanisms and support pathways

There is a growing debate about traits that appear across multiple neurodevelopmental conditions that aren't unique to autism. @adamguastella.bsky.social and Kelsie Boulton explain how a transdiagnostic approach can lead to a more developmentally sensitive science.

Transdiagnostic thinking could accelerate autism science
Our tendency to focus on one condition at a time likely silos expertise and services—and obscures critical connections across diagnostic categories.

Can apps and digital resources support your child with autism or ADHD? Here’s what to look for
Lots of digital tools promise to assist children with neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism and ADHD. But it’s hard to know what is and isn’t useful.

Led by @Kelsie_Boulton, we evaluate existing free digital tools (Apps & Websites) claiming to support child neurodevelopment
Digital tools are often seen as solutions to resource constraints
While engaging, the evidence for use was low
