Reports of flaws in imaging research are signs of a maturing field, experts say, not a devastating blow to its results.

Atypical patterns of neuronal activity and gene expression in the striatum may characterize autism in girls, according to a new study.

Autistic boys and men show notable differences in brain development, according to magnetic resonance imaging scans taken over a 16-year period.

Children with highly folded and curved brains in utero tend to show autism-linked behaviors at 18 months of age, according to a longitudinal brain-imaging study.

A technique that expands tissue before spotting and sequencing RNA — the molecular messenger for DNA — enables researchers to see where particular genes are expressed in cells.

An imaging approach that captures spheres of brain cells in three dimensions could illuminate processes in early brain development.
