A genome-wide association study lays a foundation for deeper investigation of these variants in neurodevelopmental conditions.

Postdoctoral positions are relatively short, so starting out on the right foot can make all the difference. Researchers offer their advice for making that happen.

Scientists at different career stages offer advice for new postdoctoral researchers — that and more in this month’s issue of Spectrum launch.

The underlying regional neurobiology of the conditions may differ from person to person.

An imbalance in the number of excitatory neurons in early brain development may account for the difference.

Researchers took to social media to discuss a new tool for recording brain activity in freely moving mice and a study linking a mutation in the gene MBD5 to epilepsy and intellectual disability. That and more in this week’s Community Newsletter.

Some researchers are pushing back — with mixed results.

Synaptic changes in the brain region could drive a core trait of fragile X syndrome, a new mouse study suggests.

The new tool could help clinicians diagnose autism in children younger than 3, the findings show.

Researchers on social media reacted to a new version of the Neuropixels probe and a study of sex differences in the brain. That and more in this week’s Community Newsletter.
