Pregunta
Regarding early brain overgrowth in Autism
Respuesta
-
a retrospective screening strategy measures an infants head before the age of 3
-
a prospective screening strategy scans high risk infants and follows up with those that develop autism
-
there is an abnormal cessation of growth later in childhood

the things that hold your brain in place
-
the basis for lateral induction
Pregunta 19
Pregunta
The structural changes in ASD are
Respuesta
-
Higher total brain volume starting between 6 and 12 months old
-
Early overgrowth which appears to be stemming from increased cortical surface area
-
Increased surface area, due to an increased number of radial units and/or wider spacing of cortical minicolumns
