A new viral variant can deliver genes exclusively to the brain, overcoming a key hurdle in treating neurological conditions using gene therapy.

Loss of the POGZ gene in mice makes certain genes inaccessible and prevents their expression.

Autism may involve different levels of RNA isoforms encoded by genes in the brain, which express many more proteins than previously thought.

Oxytocin, cemented in the popular imagination as the “love molecule,” could serve as a treatment for some autistic people who naturally have low levels of the hormone, researchers say.

Mice that express a fluorescent synaptic receptor reveal the interactions between neurons in unprecedented detail.

The investigational drug arbaclofen makes autistic people’s brains respond to a visual task more like non-autistic people’s brains do.

Developmental delay, intellectual disability and behavioral issues are common among people who have mutations in MYT1L, a gene with strong ties to autism.

New software can automatically identify and quantify mouse social behavior from videos, saving researchers time.

Mice missing a copy of the gene SENP1 have atypical social behavior likely due to a signaling imbalance in the retrosplenial cortex.
