Autistic adults show reduced availability of a key glutamate receptor, mGlu5, across widespread brain regions.

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

Brain aneurysms, often silent threats, can rupture unexpectedly, causing life-threatening hemorrhages. Weakened blood vessels ...
