August 2022: Subcortical Brain Development in Autism and Fragile X Syndrome
Dr. Mark D. Shen (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) discusses the trajectory of brain development in infants at risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and fragile X syndrome. Longitudinal imaging was captured from 6 to 24 months to see how brain development differed between groups, and the development of the amygdala in infants at risk for ASD prior to onset of social deficits and clinical diagnosis.

- Why look at patients with potential ASD diagnosis in conjunction with fragile X syndrome patients? [04:20]
- Why are differences in brain structure important? [05:46]
- What’s the advantage of earlier diagnosis of ASD? [08:16]
- What’s next for your research? [09:48]
