In a mouse model, restoring activity of a specific forebrain region reverses social traits associated with autism.

Neuroscientists find brain activity patterns that encode our beliefs and affect how we interpret the world around us.

By introducing a gene variant associated with autism into monkeys, researchers hope to study treatment options for severe neurodevelopmental disorders.

Neuroscientists trace a brain circuit that filters unwanted sensory input.

Tiny, branching extensions called dendrites may be more than just passive information-carriers, study finds.

Neuroscientists identify a brain circuit that helps break decisions down into smaller pieces.

New findings help explain the surprising discovery that exposure to flickering light reduces amyloid plaques in mice.

Study shows that artificial neural networks can be used to drive brain activity.

Mutation in disease model flies undermines maintenance of key ion balance.

Analysis of genes altered by the disease could provide targets for new treatments.
