Four subtypes lend new support to the idea that there isn’t a single ‘hallmark’ type of brain connectivity in people with autism.

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

Autistic children with sensory issues show more intense physiological reactions to unpleasant sounds and other sensations than their non-autistic peers do, a new study shows.

Spectrum spoke with three Black scientists about why they got into autism research, what keeps them excited about their work and how the field could become more diverse.

Infusions of the hormone oxytocin may make mice that model autism more social by normalizing their brain activity patterns.

Connections between the cerebellum and brain networks do not seem to contribute substantially to the emergence of autism traits.

An fMRI scan can reconstruct a picture from a person’s brain activity, but that image changes depending on a person’s attention.

People who have large mutations associated with autism and schizophrenia share atypical patterns of brain connectivity, according to a new study, especially between areas that process sensory information.

Autistic men show a greater imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory signaling in the brain than autistic women do, which could explain sex differences in ‘camouflaging.’
