New ‘whole-brain’ imaging technique isolates autistic and non-autistic brain differences for first time.

The functional differences between autistic and non-autistic brains have been isolated for the first time, following the development of a new methodology for analysing MRI scans.  Developed by researchers at the University of Warwick, the methodology, called Brain-Wide Association Analysis (BWAS), is the first capable of creating panoramic views of the whole brain and provides scientists with an accurate 3D model to study. The New … Continue reading New ‘whole-brain’ imaging technique isolates autistic and non-autistic brain differences for first time.
