Normal Face Detection Over a Range of Luminance Contrasts in Adolescents With Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Face recognition is impaired in autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), but the reason for this remains unclear. One possibility is that impairments in the ability to visually detect faces might be a factor. As a preliminary study in this vein, we measured face detection ability as a function of visual contrast level in 13 individuals with ASD, aged 13-18, and 18 neurotypical controls (NCs) in the same age range.

Visual short-term memory relates to tau and amyloid burdens in preclinical autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease.

Background: Over the past decade, visual short-term memory (VSTM) binding tests have been shown to be one of the most sensitive behavioral indicators of Alzheimer's disease (AD), especially when they require the binding of multiple features (e.g., color and shape).

Chemiluminescent aptasensor capable of rapidly quantifying Escherichia Coli O157:H7.

Cost-effective and easy-to-use biosensor was developed for the rapid quantification and monitoring of Escherichia (E.) Coli O157:H7 in sample using E. Coli O157:H7 aptamer, graphene oxide (GO)/iron nanocomposites, and guanine chemiluminescence detection.
