Article Synopsis
- The study looked at neurological soft signs (NSS), which are traits linked to brain disorders, but also found in healthy people, to see how they relate to brain structure.* -
- Researchers used special brain scan techniques to examine the brain connections and white matter of 59 healthy volunteers and found connections between NSS and specific brain areas.* -
- The results suggest that changes in the brain's structure play a role in how these NSS appear, even in young, healthy individuals.*
Purpose: Diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is difficult, as symptoms vary greatly and are difficult to quantify objectively. Recent work has focused on the assessment of non-invasive diffusion tensor imaging-based biomarkers that reflect the microstructural characteristics of neuronal pathways in the brain. While tractography-based approaches typically analyze specific structures of interest, a graph-based large-scale network analysis of the connectome can yield comprehensive measures of larger-scale architectural patterns in the brain.
