Positive screen for autism often does not spur further evaluation
More than two-thirds of toddlers flagged for autism do not get assessed for the condition by specialists.

Algorithm flags harmful mutations in single copies of genes
A new tool can predict a genetic problem called 'haploinsufficiency' in which a mutation impairs the function of one copy of a gene.

New dopamine sensor powers three-color imaging in live animals
The tool leverages a previously unused segment of the color spectrum to track the neurotransmitter and can be used with two additional sensors to monitor other neurochemicals at different wavelengths.

Cell ‘antennae’ link autism, congenital heart disease
Variants in genes tied to both conditions derail the formation of cilia, the tiny hair-like structure found on almost every cell in the body, a new study finds.

How to build a truly global computational neuroscience community
Computational sciences offer an opportunity to increase global access to, and participation in, neuroscience. Neuromatch’s inclusive, scalable model for community building shows how to realize this promise.
