Autism And Unique Synchronization Patterns

Autism And Unique Synchronization Patterns.
People with autism may have perception connections that are uniquely their own, a unheard of study suggests. Previous research has found either over- or under-synchronization between unique areas of the brains of people with autism, when compared to those without the disorder. The authors of the new consider said those apparently conflicting findings may reflect the fact that each person with autism might have unique synchronization patterns. The untrodden findings may help lead to earlier diagnosis of autism and imaginative treatments, the researchers added.

So "Identifying brain profiles that differ from the pattern observed in typically developing individuals is major not only in that it allows researchers to begin to understand the differences that arise in autism but. it opens up the likelihood that there are many altered brain profiles," study author Marlene Behrmann said in a Carnegie Mellon University scoop release. She is a professor of cognitive neuroscience at the Pittsburgh university.

Autism is a developmental battle royal in which children have trouble communicating with others and exhibit repetitive or harassing behaviors. Autism varies widely in its severity and symptoms, according to the US National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. About one in 68 children in the United States has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
