New findings suggest that autistic men, but not women, have enhanced neural excitability in their social brain regions, and this may impact their ability to
A team of researchers has discovered a new connection between a genetic alteration and social difficulties related to autism: A mutation in the neuroligin-3 gene
A new study has shown that humans, mice and flies share the same fundamental genetic mechanisms that regulate the formation and function of brain areas
Neurobiologists have found new evidence that specific calcium channel subunits play a crucial role in the development of excitatory and inhibitory synapses.
Researchers have mapped the thalamic reticular nucleus in unprecedented detail, revealing that the region contains two distinct subnetworks of neurons with different functions. The findings
