DEVELOPMENT BEHAVIORAL & NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL MEASURES FOR EARLY AUTISM DIAGNOSIS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 该项目比较了自闭症儿童与典型发育儿童使用眼动追踪和ERP技术进行社交沟通的行为和神经过程。我们将这种表现与接受选择性脑损伤的猴子进行了比较，无论是年轻个体还是成年个体。我们的目标是进一步了解参与社会沟通的神经机制，以及这些机制如何在发育障碍中受损。 在过去的一年里，我们完成了对所有人类参与者和猴子的行为和电生理数据的收集。

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. This project compares behavioral and neural processes critical for social communication in autistic compared to typically developing children using eye tracking and ERP techniques. We have compared this performance to that of monkeys who have received selective brain lesions both as young individuals and as adults. Our goal is to further understand the neural mechanisms involved in social communication and how these may become impaired in developmental disorders. During this last year we have completed the collection of behavioral and electrophysiological data on all human participants and on the monkeys.
