One-rosette technique grows well-organized organoids
The method yields complex organoids that more closely mimic embryonic brain development than do those cultured in other ways.
Charting the structure and function of the brain’s many circuits may unravel autism’s mysteries.

The model enables the study of autism-linked genes at the earliest stages of neural development.
Psychiatric genomics promises to shed light on the genetic basis of autism, but it’s vital to include Africa in this research, Iyegbe and Okewole say.
The signal, called CD47, is disrupted in autistic people who have a larger-than-average head.
Using imaging methods to sort mouse models of autism may help identify subtypes of autistic people with similar underlying biology.
Brain cell clusters serve as drug screens and reveal connectivity differences for autism-linked conditions, two new models show.
Pagani used mouse models to connect autism etiologies to brain connectivity alterations and then found similar alterations in people with idiopathic forms of the condition.
New studies bolster the idea that zebrafish models can say something meaningful about social behavior in autism.
Brain scans of the hippocampus reveal autistic people who are at increased risk of cognitive problems as they get older.
The circuit linking the prefrontal cortex and part of the thalamus is impaired in mice raised in social isolation and in mice with mutations in the FMR1 or TSC2 genes.
