Infant Attention to Eyes Versus Mouth Varies With Mouth Movement Speed, Family History of Autism and Language Development

Abstract Purpose Patterns of visual attention to faces are mixed in infants with a family history of autism relative to controls. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often co-occurs with autism and could represent one source of variance in findings. Heterogeneity in l...

Personalising wearable neuroimaging for neurodivergent children through co-design with families and industry

Abstract Wearable neuroimaging methods hold considerable promise for identifying early biomarkers of neurodevelopmental conditions, yet their application to neurodivergent young children remains limited by significant participation barriers. We investigated inclusion rates and pa...

Estimating differing causal roles of glutamate and GABA genes on brain and behavior in autism

Abstract The excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) imbalance theory suggests that excitatory and inhibitory alterations underlies autism characteristics. However, genetic underpinnings of this imbalance and its impact on brain function and behavior remains unclear. We explored causal links...
