Overgrown organoids could point to mechanisms underlying profound autism.

The compendium of brain-parcellation atlases makes it possible to compare large-scale network data, which often involves different and overlapping network names.

The time lag between spurts of activity holds anatomical information, according to a preprint.

People belonging to the same subtype share genetic variants, behaviors and often co-occurring diagnoses, according to a new preprint.

The new technique mapped the interactions of about 50 kinds of inhibitory neurons in the mouse visual cortex in finer detail than previous approaches.

Harmless viruses that encase short noncoding DNA elements called enhancers enable cell-type-specific gene delivery across the central nervous system in rodents and primates.

Rare genetic variants in a protein-folding complex contribute to a spectrum of phenotypes that encompass brain malformations, intellectual disability, autism and seizures, according to a new “hallmark” study.

The majority of cells in the cerebral cortex are unspecialized, according to an unpublished analysis—and scientists need to take care in naming neurons, the researchers warn.

Genetic variants on the X chromosome, including those in the gene DDX53, contribute to autism's gender imbalance, two new studies suggest.
