Patterns of brain activity in 6-month-old babies accurately predict which children will be diagnosed with autism at age 2.

Some infants who are later diagnosed with autism have too much fluid between the brain and skull.

A collection of brain scans from monkeys aged 2 weeks to 12 months reveals how their brain structures and nerve tracts develop over time.

The faster the brains of children with autism grow in their first year of life, the more severe their autism features are likely to be at age 2.

Despite the completion of hundreds of imaging studies in people with autism, researchers have yet to find features that distinguish people with the condition.

The effects of autism mutations on brain volume might be reversible, even in a mature brain.

Two mouse models of autism have distinct patterns of brain connectivity that emerge at different times.

The brain enlargement commonly seen in toddlers with autism may persist into adolescence and adulthood.

Mice that carry mutations linked to autism are less likely than controls to show size differences between right and left brain regions.
