Early brain enlargement augurs distinct form of autism
A minority of boys with autism have brains that are unusually large relative to their bodies — a trait tied to regression and intellectual disability.

Questions for Nordahl, Mello: Scans for children with autism
Techniques used in behavioral interventions could help scientists scan the brains of children who have both autism and intellectual disability.
Questions for Nordahl, Mello: Scans for children with autism

Should we use the computational or the network approach to analyze functional brain-imaging data—why not both?
Emerging methods make it possible to combine the two tactics from opposite ends of the analytic spectrum, enabling scientists to have their cake and eat it too.
