It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" to each other. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in ...

A novel mathematical approach enables the identification of brain regions whose connectivity shifts in autism or aging, informing targeted brain stimulation therapies.

At the grocery store, a mother guides her child down the cereal aisle. Nearby, a man studies a list on his phone while a cashier rings up a customer’s order with precision. Amid these ordinary scenes, ...

This report is based on a recent in-depth article by the BBC, which examined how modern genetics is transforming scientific understanding of autism and reigniting debates within the autistic community ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Obesity before pregnancy, not just during, may shape a child’s brain and raise the risk of autism spectrum disorder, a new study has found. Epigenetic changes in eggs triggered gene shifts linked to ...

Neurons grown from stem cells in the lab form an interconnected network. In this study, researchers used CRISPR to switch off genes in stem cells and then followed how successfully the cells developed ...
