Children with mutations either in CHD8 — a top autism gene — or in genes that CHD8 controls share similar characteristics.

Babies eventually diagnosed with autism learn to detect speech sounds later than their typical peers do.

New open-source software helps scientists pinpoint where electrical signals are produced in the brain.

Brain organoids made from typical human stem cells begin to show synchronized neuronal firing patterns after growing in a dish for at least four months.

A transparent set of electrodes enables researchers to simultaneously record electrical signals and visualize neurons in the brains of awake mice.

A new assemblage of tools precisely gauges a baby’s biological response to sights, sounds and tactile stimuli all at once.
