Systematic analysis of video clips is better than questionnaires are at assessing repetitive movements in children with autism, says Sylvie Goldman.
Papers that defined diagnostic tools for autism research
It took 50 years for scientists to develop instruments reliable enough to be considered the gold standards for diagnosing autism.

Models at the speed of thought: How AI coding is reshaping theoretical neuroscience
Agentic coding makes it possible to specify a neuroscience model in hours instead of months. Six neuroscientists weigh in on what that tectonic change may bring to the field.

Writing science that humans and machines can read
Large language models are now routinely used to search, summarize and synthesize the literature at scales impossible for any individual researcher—yet scientific publishing has not adapted to that reality.
