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

Researchers have used transcranial magnetic stimulation to show that people with fragile X syndrome have weak ‘inhibitory’ signals, those that dampen neuronal activity in the brain.

New artificial intelligence software can decode conversations between small monkeys called marmosets.

Combining a brain imaging technique with a neuron stimulation method can reveal how activity at one site travels through neural networks in the brain.

A new ultrasound device provides high-resolution movies of blood flow through the brains of infants.

A simple method for growing spheres of brain cells yields more realistic replicas of the brain than traditional techniques do.

Two new gadgets join the gene-editing toolbox, many children with autism get smarter with age, and a survey points to a research reset for Autism Speaks.

Two new resources catalog how genetic variants affect gene expression in the brain.

Children with ‘severe autism’ are the most in need of help, yet the most overlooked in research. A new initiative is making them the primary focus.
