Linking Visual Cortical Development to Visual Perception
A central question in cognitive science and neuroscience concerns how the visual cortex autonomously develops, stabilizes its own development, and then gives rise to visual perception in the adult. Much evidence suggests that the visual cortex generates representations of perceptual boundaries and surfaces. The present article focuses on how the visual cortex develops the circuitry that generat...
متن کاملComparison of Motor Skills in At-risk with Autism Spectrum Disorder Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Typical Development Children
Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental disorder characterized by repetitive and stereotypical patterns, and difficulties with social communication and interaction in early childhood. Motor development and dysfunction in children with ASD has been the subject of study in recent years and has attracted much of the attention of researchers. As motor dysfunctions can ...
متن کاملTipping the Balance of Autism Risk: Potential Mechanisms Linking Pesticides and Autism
BACKGROUND Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have been increasing in many parts of the world and a portion of cases are attributable to environmental exposures. Conclusive replicated findings have yet to appear on any specific exposure; however, mounting evidence suggests gestational pesticides exposures are strong candidates. Because multiple developmental processes are implicated in ASDs durin...
متن کاملDNA methylation: a mechanism linking environmental chemical exposures to risk of autism spectrum disorders?
There is now compelling evidence that gene by environment interactions are important in the etiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). However, the mechanisms by which environmental factors interact with genetic susceptibilities to confer individual risk for ASD remain a significant knowledge gap in the field. The epigenome, and in particular DNA methylation, is a critical gene expression re...
متن کاملLongitudinal changes in cortical thickness in autism and typical development.
The natural history of brain growth in autism spectrum disorders remains unclear. Cross-sectional studies have identified regional abnormalities in brain volume and cortical thickness in autism, although substantial discrepancies have been reported. Preliminary longitudinal studies using two time points and small samples have identified specific regional differences in cortical thickness in the...
