WHITE MATTER STRUCTURAL DEFICITS IN HIGH FUNCTIONING CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPE

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。这项研究的目的是利用扩散张量成像(DTI)和定量结构磁共振成像，对42名高功能自闭症儿童(年龄7至17岁)和42名人口统计学上匹配的健康志愿者，在活体情况下表征扣带束白质纤维的结构组织。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The goal of the proposed research is to characterize the structural organization of white matter fibers of the cingulum bundle in vivo using both diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and quantitative structural magnetic resonance imaging in 42 high functioning children with ASD (ages 7 to 17 years) and 42 demographically-matched healthy volunteers.
