Early-career researchers talk about the challenges around taking time off, and a new study shows that young scientists tend to be more innovative than their older colleagues.

Faulty mTOR signaling, implicated in syndromic forms of autism, also hinders cells grown from people with idiopathic autism or autism-linked deletions on chromosome 16.

The method yields complex organoids that more closely mimic embryonic brain development than do those cultured in other ways.

The model enables the study of autism-linked genes at the earliest stages of neural development.

The signal, called CD47, is disrupted in autistic people who have a larger-than-average head.

The function of microglia and astrocytes in the brain may mediate the intersection of sex-differential biology and autism biology.

Brain cell clusters serve as drug screens and reveal connectivity differences for autism-linked conditions, two new models show.

New studies bolster the idea that zebrafish models can say something meaningful about social behavior in autism.

Brain scans of the hippocampus reveal autistic people who are at increased risk of cognitive problems as they get older.

People with dup15q syndrome and those with idiopathic autism have similar patterns of altered gene expression in early brain development and later in life.
