An effort to map the way the brains of those with autism are genetically unique from neurotypical individuals has found that the differences go well beyond regions involved in social behavior and ...
A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals’ cortex and responded ...
