The amygdala has long been a focus of autism research. But its exact role in the condition has been unclear.
Autistic toddlers have unusually strong connections between sensory areas of the brain.
Autistic girls’ brains respond more strongly to social stimuli than do autistic boys’.
One in five autistic people may have synesthesia, a crossing of the senses. Studying synesthesia in autism may deepen our understanding of both conditions.

The overproduction of proteins in brain cells called microglia causes social impairments, cognitive deficits and repetitive behavior in male mice, a new study has found.
Areas of the brain involved in processing vision are more weakly connected to those that process sensory information in autistic children than in controls.
An online map of the marmoset brain may enable researchers to better understand how neuronal connections function.
The long fibers of neurons in the brains of young children with autism are structured differently from those of their neurotypical peers — and from those of older children with the condition.
