Gene activity in human cortex shows striking sex differences
The results mark a “dramatic shift” in how neuroscientists think about sex differences, and they may help explain sex biases in certain neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental conditions.

Amygdala-linked brain areas grow differently in autism
The growth differences vary between autistic boys and girls and are most apparent among children with prominent social difficulties.

In autism, food quirks show up in social brain areas
Young adults with autism who have intense sensitivity to taste show increased activation in social areas of the brain when they taste something sweet.

Face processing may improve over time in children with autism
The activity of the brain's face detector, the fusiform gyrus, in response to faces is greater in adolescents with autism than it is in younger children with the condition.

Face learning; mosaic inheritance; nosy scientists and more
A monkey study suggests facial recognition is not innate, a puzzle piece symbol carries negative connotations, and scientists are using a federal law to snoop on colleagues.

Brain scans sniff out root of unusual sense of smell in autism
People with autism who are acutely sensitive to smells have unusually weak connections between a brain region that processes social stimuli and one that integrates sensory information.

Microglia scoop out garbage from inside neurons
Through a newly identified process called skoupocytosis, neurons recruit the immune cells to remove cellular waste they find hard to deal with themselves.

Hasty stem cells highlight potential limitation with cortical organoids
The models recapitulate many key developmental processes, but some radial glial cells in mouse organoids make neurons earlier than they should.
