Merging 3D clusters of neurons that mimic different brain regions models the atypical electrical activity seen in an autism-related condition.

Our staff picks the stories, podcasts and special reports that stood out from the rest this past year.

The repetitive behaviors seen in autism may originate in the striatum, a cluster of neurons involved with initiating and executing movements.

Mice missing DLG2, a protein central to neuronal activity, are anxious, sleep poorly and overgroom themselves.

Associated primarily with its role in movement, the striatum may also influence the social difficulties of autistic people.

Lattice-like structures that surround neurons may be overly abundant — or scarce — in brain regions of three autism mouse models.

An electrical brain implant all but erased the obsessions that had consumed Becky Audette, years after her autism diagnosis. Could similar implants help other people with severe autism?

David and Bernardo Sabatini, brothers born just a year and a half year apart, invent their way to answering big questions about autism.

A miniature particle delivers the gene-editing tool CRISPR into the brains of fragile X mice.

A new inventory of proteins reveals their levels in seven brain regions from infancy through adulthood.
