Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Zhiliu Wu"
- Zhiliu Wu's recent research focuses on understanding the neural and genetic underpinnings of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), investigating both functional brain connectivity and the impact of specific genetic variants on ASD susceptibility.
- Key findings include disrupted interactions in empathy networks among autistic children and the identification of EEG and eye-tracking indicators for early ASD diagnosis, highlighting the potential for objective screening methods.
- Wu's genetic studies have pinpointed several susceptibility genes linked to autism in the Chinese Han population, such as GABRG3 and MEGF10, along with elucidating mechanisms by which these genetic factors may contribute to the disorder's pathology.
