Status Updates From Dans le cerveau des autistes

HDFT. Fibres of the brain. 80-90 percent accuracy in a potential biological diagnosis for connectivity theory and the topology of grey matter folds. A study of potential autistic infants showed higher fractional anisotropy at age 6 months but the same infants at 24 months showed lower fractional anisotropy.

STEM, which can be challenging to comprehend all at once without a physical brain model for me to reference.

Overconnectivity of local brain regions and the long distance underconnectivity. Overconnectivity in local brsin regions to make up for the deficit of the underconnectivity of long distance regions. 🧠🧿

Interesting to see the differences in neuroanatomy with Temple's autistic brain and the controls neurotypical brain. In addition, the theory of there being "damage" in early brain development that may have caused the autistic profile, in Temple's words.

I was just having a conversation earlier, and the person wants to explore autism and the origins: if rooted in "trauma or damage" during utero.

Fascinating!
