A new method allows researchers to extract chromatin — the DNA-protein complex that helps to regulate gene expression — from tissue samples weighing as little as 1 milligram.

A new behavioral test that gauges how well mice simultaneously process light and sound may help explain and treat problems with this skill in people with autism.

Researchers may soon be able to easily visualize protein pairings in living cells through vibrant flashes of color.

Researchers can coax human stem cells to grow into layered structures that mimic the brain’s center for motor control, the cerebellum.

A new microscopy technique creates colorful three-dimensional images of brain activity in awake mice.

An ultra-thin and flexible electrode array can record brain signals without disturbing the underlying tissue.

A new resource maps the expression of nearly 17,000 proteins in a range of tissues throughout the human body.

A new tool helps predict whether large DNA duplications and deletions, common among people with autism, are harmful or benign.
 

A new database that maps changes in gene expression in the prefrontal cortex shows that autism-linked genes are expressed differently than other genes through six stages of life.

A new method is faster and more accurate than previous methods at revealing the complex folds that help to fit nearly six feet of DNA into the tiny nucleus of a cell.
