A software tool finds possible functions for long RNA molecules that aren’t transcribed into proteins.

A monkey-sized jacket embedded with motion sensors — similar to technology used to animate creatures in movies — is helping researchers develop the common marmoset as a model for studying human social behavior.

A new technique transforms the previous broad-brush picture of a brain region into a pointillist masterpiece of neuronal subpopulations associated with specific activities.

An inexpensive, noninvasive method can track social brain development in infants in low-resource countries.

Tracking how roundworms crawl has enabled scientists to determine that many autism genes are involved in sensory processing and learning.

A combination of chemical cocktails has created mice that are — yes — virtually invisible. And new imaging technology reveals the mice’s underlying nerves and lymphatic system in unprecedented detail.

New open-source software helps scientists pinpoint where electrical signals are produced in the brain.

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