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.

Reward-system differences may underlie multiple autism features
The brain's system for sensing pleasure and reward shows unusual activation patterns and an atypical structure in people with autism.

Banking on brains for clues to autism
New initiatives aim to increase brain donations for autism research and maximize what scientists can learn from these precious specimens.

Brain hiccup may explain some social problems in autism
People with autism show an atypical pattern of brain activity when trying to adopt another person’s point of view.

Neurons move early, mature late in developing monkey brain
Researchers have mapped the migration patterns of neurons in the developing monkey brain and pinpointed when they establish their identities.

Brain structure abnormalities predict repetitive behaviors
Among babies who go on to receive a diagnosis of autism at age 2, alterations in brain structures forecast the severity of repetitive behaviors. The preliminary results were presented Saturday at the 2015 International Meeting for Autism Research in Salt Lake City, Utah.

New clues connect altered patterns of DNA tags to autism
Methyl tags on DNA are distributed differently in postmortem brains from people with autism than in control brains, and mouse pups can inherit altered methylation from their older fathers, report two new studies.

Mind-body movement
Children with autism, even those with low intelligence, can improve their self-control by practicing a Chinese mind-body exercise technique, reports a study published 10 July in PLoS One.

Imaging reveals more folds, thicker cortex in autism brains
The brains of people with autism are structurally different from those of controls, with more folds and a thicker cortex in certain regions, according to two studies published in the past few months.

Molecular mechanisms: Master regulator altered in autism
SP1, a protein that regulates the expression of several autism candidate genes, could increase risk of the disorder by simultaneously altering the expression of a number of the genes, according to a study published 24 October in Biological Psychiatry.

Este artigo mudou minha vida: adotando um dos primeiros modelos de neurociência naturalística
Um artigo publicado na PNAS em 1992 mostrou que o canto das aves aumenta a expressão de um gene de resposta imediata no prosencéfalo dessas aves. O estudo revelou a Ribeiro a importância de investigar as respostas moleculares em contextos naturalísticos.

Scientific talent is global. Access to the world’s scientific stage is not.
Neuroscience in Chile, and across Latin America, does not lack talent or ideas, but the systems that make science visible—prestigious journals, conferences and networks—increasingly price its researchers out.
