Editors Note: This column is a new series of articles by Richmond, brother of Palmer Richmond - the inspiration for CNS Foundation. In his unique role as assistant director of the Foundation, will write about his life as a sibling to his brother with special needs.

Dear Martha,

Embryonic stem cell research is once again making headlines as the legal questions surrounding federal funding of this science continue to sort themselves out one ruling at a time. The legal process can be complicated and confusing but I will attempt to outline the current state of affairs. Organizations like CNS Foundation and individuals like you are the most important and powerful advocates for the children suffering from neurological disease and it is important that we all understand the facts . . . .

Dr. Dolmetsch on Autism Spectrum Disorder Research and Stem Cell Possibilities

Dr. Dolmetsch and his colleagues have generated stem cells from children with autism allowing them to study how the brain develops in children with ASD

Gladstone scientist makes key innovations in stem-cell technologyDiscoveries will advance medicine and human health

Why stem cells don't just want to make neuronsAnother piece in the puzzle of why it can be so hard to produce large numbers of the same type of cell in the lab a process that is vital for scaling up stem cell production for therapeutic use

Innovative screening method identifies possible new treatment for fatal childhood diseaseResearchers have used an innovative yeast-based screening method to identify a possible treatment for the fatal childhood disease Niemann-Pick C (NP-C)

USC research shows critical role of placenta in brain developmentGroundbreaking study has implications for chronic illness, mental health

New clue found for Fragile X syndrome-epilepsy linkResearchers have now discovered a potential mechanism that may contribute to the link between epilepsy and fragile X syndrome

A world first: The discovery of a common genetic cause of autism and epilepsyResearchers from the CHUM Research Centre (CRCHUM) have identified a new gene that predisposes people to both autism and epilepsy

Gene linked to severity of autism's social dysfunctionWith the help of two sets of brothers with autism, s Hopkins scientists have identified a gene associated with autism that appears to be linked very specifically to the severity of social interaction deficits
