Scientists discover a relationship between brain structure and autism in children

Researchers at the Russian Supreme Economy School, in cooperation with researchers at American universities, discovered that the structure of nervous paths in the “mulch” in children with autism is significantly different from those who are not injured. The biggest changes in the paths that link the “mulch” and the center of sensory information processing with the temporal lobe in the brain, as it turned out that the more severe the disorders, the more clear the autistic features of the child.

The researchers, in their study, published in the scientific journal “Behavival Brain Research”, compared to the structure of the brain in children with autism and their non -injured peers, and 38 children between the ages of 7 and 14 participated in the study, and data on non -verbal intelligence, and the level of development and the level of development was collected Linguistic, the emergence of autism features, the ability to convert attention, communication, imagination, and attention to details.

The researchers focused on studying the white matter in the brain, which acts as a conductor that connects different parts of the brain and guarantees its harmonious work, and the functional communication of the tin, as an important center for processing information in the brain, has also been studied with different areas of the cerebral cortex.

40 nervous paths that connect the hyda with different areas of the cerebral cortex were studied, and it became clear that the microscopic structure of these paths is significantly vary in children with autism.

It is noteworthy that autism or autism spectrum disorders are satisfactory conditions that make it difficult for a person to communicate and understand the feelings of others and adapt to changes, and that his actions and customs are repeated, and despite scientific progress, the disease is still diagnosed through behavioral tests only, which is complicated Early diagnosis of this, researchers seek to discover vital indicators, which are objective biological indicators, such as changes in brain structure or genetic or biochemical properties that can be used to diagnose autism spectrum disorders.
