Neuroscientist Tony Zador discusses the enigma of the human brain, the ‘aha’ moments of running and why a ski resort is a good place for a scientific conference.

Autistic men show a greater imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory signaling in the brain than autistic women do, which could explain sex differences in ‘camouflaging.’

A growing number of studies are revealing circuits that may underlie social challenges in autism — and how to fine-tune them.

Hearing difficulties and autism often overlap, exacerbating autism traits and complicating diagnoses.

A new atlas lays bare how synapses, or the junctions between neurons, change from birth to old age in mice.

A computer program aligns mouse brain images with a reference brain atlas, helping researchers analyze neurons and their connections in a standardized way.

Autistic people tend to have trouble shifting their gaze to take in all the details of a scene.

Dampening overactive brain circuits alleviates social and memory problems in a mouse model of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.

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.

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.
