An algorithm that decodes and quantifies mouse body language could reveal the brain circuits underlying certain autism features.

Raphael Bernier and James Mancini describe the similarities and differences between autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Our autism anchors, Raphael Bernier and James Mancini, nominate candidates for the hottest topic in autism research in 2017.

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

A wireless miniature microscope lets researchers peer into the brains of mice as they run along a 25-foot track.

Two scientists describe the causes and consequences of sleep disruptions in autism — and what to do about them.

Some genes linked to autism regulate the production of proteins at neuronal junctions, suggesting that disrupted protein synthesis contributes to the condition.

Two scientists describe the critical role families have played in advancing research in autism genetics.

The secret to understanding autism lies largely in our DNA.

Children with autism are often clumsy, physically awkward or uncoordinated. This understudied and nearly ubiquitous feature has researchers contemplating a new idea: Could motor problems be one source of autism’s social difficulties?
