This study examines chronic intranasal oxytocin's effects on neuroanatomy and behavior in three autism-related mouse models, finding limited effects and no consistent response patterns.

This study identifies subtle cardiac abnormalities in ASD mouse models, highlighting heterogeneity and potential shared mechanisms with CHD.

The paper uses MRI and Bayesian hierarchical modeling to show that immune dysfunction in mice affects specific brain regions and correlates with anxiety-like behaviors.

This study investigates the effects of Arid1b haploinsufficiency in mice, revealing sex-dependent neuroanatomical and behavioral phenotypes associated with neurodevelopmental disorders.

This study shows that maternal high-fat diet exposure leads to persistent brain changes in adult offspring, affecting regions linked to neurodevelopmental disorders.

This study characterizes the effects of varying humanized androgen receptor Q tract lengths on brain anatomy and behavior in mice, finding non-linear neuroanatomical changes and no behavioral effects.

The paper investigates structural covariance in mouse brain regions, finding that it is explained by distance, transcriptomic similarity, and connectivity, with varying contributions across brain areas.

The paper uses MRI to show male-specific brain areas develop earlier than female-specific ones in mice across postnatal development.
