Promise and pitfalls of induced stem cells for autism
Induced pluripotent stem cells, which have the ability to become any cell type, including neurons, offer a powerful way to study neuropsychiatric disorders. But for this approach to reach its full potential, researchers must first address several challenges, such as variability between cell lines, say Flora Vaccarino and Jessica Mariani.

The 1,000 neuron challenge
A competition to design small, efficient neural models might provide new insight into real brains—and perhaps unite disparate modeling efforts.
