Prenatal brain development and familial history of ASD
This project examines, in pregnant women, the brain development of unborn babies who have an older sibling with ASD, as well as of unborn babies who have an older typically developing sibling.
Neonatal connectome as a predictor of social and attentional differences in ASD
This prospective project follows the development of younger siblings of children with ASD as well as younger siblings of typically developing children.
Functional brain connectivity in school-age siblings of children with ASD
This project examines brain connectivity in school-aged siblings of children with ASD and typically developing controls.
Preliminary efficacy of a new treatment protocol aimed at improving social attention in infants at risk for ASD
This prospective study aims to test a highly innovative brief intervention method for improving attention to faces of interactive partners in toddlers at risk for ASD.
Biological markers of risk and resilience in ASD
This project will examine biological differences in early neurodevelopment in sibling pairs where either one or both siblings are diagnosed with ASD.
