People with autism may show an altered pattern of brain activity when looking at two competing images.

L’apprentissage automatique (machine learning) présente une possibilité pour aider les cliniciens à repérer l'autisme plus tôt, mais des obstacles techniques et éthiques demeurent.

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

To find biological markers of autism, scientists would be wise to measure the brain’s electrical activity along with the resulting magnetic fields.

Watch the complete replay of Christine Wu Nordahl discussing new ways to expand participation in autism brain-imaging studies.

Scientists are finding new ways to test cognition in autistic individuals who speak little or not at all.

Autistic people who have trouble speaking or moving often do poorly on standard tests of intelligence. Newer methods promise to uncover their abilities — and improve our understanding of autism itself.

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.

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