The hemispheres in autistic people’s brains are more symmetrical than those of their typical peers, but it is unclear what this difference means.

A new analysis of nearly 40,000 people pinpoints 48 genetic variants that may determine the volume of certain brain areas.

A tiny chunk of the brain’s emotion enter, the amygdala, is enlarged in some autistic children; the larger this piece, the more anxious and depressed the child is likely to be.

Mikle South spends his days teaching classes, studying the relationship between anxiety and autism, and coping with living in a conservative state.

We asked five autism researchers to weigh in on whether there is a unique brain signature for autism and, if so, how to identify it.

A new magnetic resonance imaging machine has the power to reveal the brain’s structure and activity at unprecedented resolution.

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

Damien Fair has a knack for transforming obstacles into opportunities, a trait that has brought trailblazing discoveries and admiration from colleagues.

A newly expanded database of information from people in the United Kingdom provides a detailed picture of genetic diversity.

‘Registered reports’ — a type of paper in which experimental protocols are reviewed before the study begins — may make neuroscience studies more rigorous and reproducible.
