A new high-resolution atlas provides the most detailed views of mouse brain structure to date.

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.

Correcting an autism gene mutation in fetal mice lessens some autism-like behaviors after birth.

A new, minimally invasive technique allows researchers to activate neurons in the brains of mice and monkeys by using a light source located outside of the head.

The mood-stabilizing drug lithium seems to ease repetitive behaviors seen in mice missing SHANK3, an autism gene.

Mice missing DLG2, a protein central to neuronal activity, are anxious, sleep poorly and overgroom themselves.

A comprehensive atlas of gene expression by brain region could spur new research on autism.

Mice missing an autism gene called SHANK3 tend to be hypersensitive to touch, which may stem from underactivity of neurons that normally dampen sensory responses.

A custom-built machine can scan the brains of awake mice and may improve our understanding of conditions such as autism.

Genes involved in the formation of myelin, a fatty substance that sheathes neurons, are altered in autistic people and in several mouse models.
