A method that maps signaling molecules in the brain may help researchers home in on areas where seizures originate.

Adults with autism struggle to reconcile conflicting visual information, hinting at a signaling imbalance in the brain.

Following another person’s gaze is a task distinct from recognizing and reading faces.

Characterizing the interaction between brain networks that govern attention and reward may help classify subgroups of people with autism.

Lower activity in a key face processing region of the brain hints that people with autism could benefit from training to become ‘face experts.’

Girls with autism may show fewer repetitive behaviors than boys because of structural differences in brain regions that control movement.

Combining data from different brain scanners can lead to false findings if variation between the machines is not taken into account, according to a new study.

A region of the brain involved in interpreting social cues is unusually smooth in boys and men with autism, but normal in girls and women with the disorder.

Researchers have reconstructed in spectacular detail all of the complex circuits in a small piece of the mouse brain. They revealed the sublime images today in Cell.

Girls with autism are nearly three times as likely as boys with the disorder to have severe epilepsy that responds poorly to medication. The findings add a twist to one of the biggest conundrums in autism: its 4-to-1 ratio of boys to girls.
