A new study published reports that social deficits in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) correlate with early structural and connectivity traits particularly in the visual ...

For the first time, scientists have found that brain differences in the visual brain systems of infants who later are diagnosed with autism are associated with inherited genetic factors. Led by ...

Recent neuroscience research shows that our brain’s organization of the visual world occurs much earlier than previously thought by scientists. As early as 2 months of age, babies exhibit clear ...

New research using experimental and brain imaging tools has shown that there is an association between caregiver and child cognition. Researchers from the University of Nottingham's School of ...

The presence of those visual processing differences is related to how pronounced the autism traits are in the older siblings. “We’re beginning to parse differences in infant brain development that ...

New research shows that brain changes in the size, white matter integrity and functional connectivity of the visual processing systems of six-month olds are evident well before they show symptoms of ...

This research was conducted as part of the NIH-funded Infant Brain Imaging Study Network, which used MRI to document crucial differences in the visual processing system in the brains of infants who ...
