On the cover: Autism remains an unsolved puzzle. Using a cerebellar model, Tsai et al. fill in a piece of the puzzle. They establish sensitive periods for treatment of autistic-like behaviors and detail underlying mechanisms for these therapeutic time windows. Image courtesy of Peter Tsai. 
On the cover: Cerebellar dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Tsai, Stoodley and colleagues show that the cerebellum modulates cortical association areas and that the underlying circuits show atypical connectivity in an ASD mouse model and individuals with autism.
