Virtual mouse helps scientists track behavior
An animated mouse reenacts common behavioral experiments and can be used to train algorithms that automatically track lab animals’ movements.

Researchers have rated more than 17,000 genes, including many linked to autism and other neuropsychiatric conditions, according to their sensitivity to deletions and duplications.
Researchers are just beginning to learn what happens in the brains of autistic children during adolescence to explain their unique social, cognitive and emotional challenges.
A new machine-learning tool detects eye contact during recorded face-to-face interactions as accurately as expert observers can.
Mutations that disrupt binding sites in RNA molecules may play a role in autism and a variety of psychiatric conditions, according to a new study.
A glowing protein tracks serotonin levels and location in the brains of living mice and could yield clues to the neurotransmitter’s role in autism.
A new method automatically reconstructs the 3D branching shapes of neurons from images.
A tool that relies on video cameras and machine learning can identify mice that have mutations in a top autism gene by their behaviors. It also detects how a widely used autism drug affects their movements.
Babies with telltale patterns of electrical activity in the brain have pronounced autism traits as toddlers.
Isolated from their peers, some autistic men get drawn into extremist views — and, in rare cases, violence — associated with online groups for ‘celibates.’
