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 ...

A recent study including 60 infants was published in the Scientific Reports Journal, which investigated the trajectories of infant visual preference for the mother's face and how these are related to ...

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 ...

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 ...
