Researchers unveiled a reversible new technique for labeling active neurons in freely moving animals.
An immune molecule produced during a fever improves sociability in three mouse models of autism.
Researchers have used a new gene-editing technique to delete a segment of DNA associated with autism and schizophrenia from mouse brain cells.
Researchers have monitored the active genome in brain organoids over the course of nearly two years — and may find clues to autism’s roots.
Neurons in a brain region called the thalamus may regulate social behavior and play a key role in autism.
A new free online library contains a vast assortment of digitized macaque brain slides.
Delivery by cesarean section leads to subtle brain and behavioral alterations in mice, particularly those delivered prematurely.
A tiny chunk of the brain’s emotion enter, the amygdala, is enlarged in some autistic children; the larger this piece, the more anxious and depressed the child is likely to be.
