A browser-based platform simulates functional neuronal circuits in the brain regions of several species.

A new online tool maps the shape and location of neurons in the larval zebrafish brain.

In autism, a person’s brain may not form accurate predictions of imminent experiences, or even if it does, sensory input may override those predictions.

A growing body of evidence suggests that autism involves atypical communication between brain regions, but how and where in the brain this plays out is unclear.

The brains of autistic children show few differences from those of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or even of controls.

The brain’s emotion center, the amygdala, undergoes dramatic changes during the first year of life; these shifts may hold hints about its role in autism.

A flexible electrode array can record the firing of hundreds of rat neurons for months on end.

Links between sensory and motor brain networks may be unusually weak in individuals with autism.
