Two new methods for building ‘mini-brains’ may help researchers study how early brain development differs in people with autism.

Researchers have charted billions of synapses in the mouse brain and sorted them by type.

A new map shows three brain networks that govern social communication in rhesus macaques.

Grouping people with autism based on their unique brain-activity ‘fingerprints’ may help to identify subtypes of the condition.

A new map reveals the routes of individual neurons in visual regions of the mouse brain.

An online software suite charts individual neurons and their connections across the mouse brain.

After five days and more than 13,000 abstracts, the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting in Washington, D.C., has drawn to a close.

The same techniques that generate images of smoke, clouds and fantastic beasts in movies can render neurons and brain structures in fine-grained detail.

Two researchers balk at talk that Wi-Fi and autism are linked, changes in an autism risk gene are tied to obsessive-compulsive traits in three species, and scientists plan to conduct a census of all of the brain’s cell types.

The numbers and types of neurons that dampen brain signals vary by brain region and sex.
