The connectivity theory of autism, explained
A growing body of evidence suggests that autism involves atypical communication between brain regions, but how and where in the brain this plays out is unclear.

Links between sensory and motor brain networks may be unusually weak in individuals with autism.
Patterns of brain activity in people with autism may be unusually consistent over seconds — and even years.
A combination of chemical cocktails has created mice that are — yes — virtually invisible. And new imaging technology reveals the mice’s underlying nerves and lymphatic system in unprecedented detail.
Administering a cholesterol drug alongside an antibiotic eases atypical behavior and restores the signaling balance in the brains of people with fragile X syndrome.
Mice with different genetic backgrounds have distinct behavioral profiles — and that may muddle findings from mouse research.
Adding motor and sensory data boosts the accuracy of Research Domain Criteria — a broad research framework adopted by the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health — for predicting autism.
Brain activity governing language can distinguish children with autism into distinct subgroups.
Chronic exposure to inflammation in the womb alters autism gene expression and disrupts social behavior in male mice, but not females.
Girls and boys with autism show different patterns of brain activity in response to sensory stimuli.
