In early childhood, the neurons inside children’s developing brains form connections between various regions of brain.  Researchers at San Diego State University found that in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, the connections between the cerebral cortex and the cerebellum appear to be overdeveloped in sensorimotor regions of the brain. This overdevelopment appears to muscle in on brain neural networks that in typically developing … Continue reading Neuroimaging study maps connections between the entire cerebral cortex and cerebellum in Autism.
