CRISPR-Gold Treats Mice with Autism

Technologies that can edit genes within the brain have the potential to revolutionize how we treat neurological disorders, and also generate new insights into brain function.  To date, attempts to use clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9 gene editing in the brain has relied on viral delivery of the Cas9 enzyme, but this approach is challenging.
