A new viral tool can selectively control different types of neurons that dampen brain activity in rodents, monkeys and people.
A new method that suppresses gene expression in the embryos of fish and mice may help researchers study autism genes in early development.
The most comprehensive catalog to date of DNA regions that modify gene expression is helping researchers uncover the role these segments play in autism.
A pair of tools that gauge social abilities in rhesus macaques may help researchers study autism-like behaviors in monkeys.
A new atlas lays bare how synapses, or the junctions between neurons, change from birth to old age in mice.
A computer program aligns mouse brain images with a reference brain atlas, helping researchers analyze neurons and their connections in a standardized way.
A new wireless device switches oxytocin-producing neurons on and off in mice as they interact, showing the hormone’s effects depend on social context.
A new analysis links individual mutations in a gene called PTEN to a person’s odds of having autism, cancer or other conditions.
