Ruth Carper: Imaging the aging brain in autistic adults
Few studies have tracked how brain structure and function change across adulthood in people with autism. Carper and her colleagues are collecting data to fill this gap.

The new resource aims to aid reproducibility in imaging research.
The findings add to the growing evidence that genes with disparate functions can play similar roles in brain development.
Compared with their non-autistic peers, young autistic girls have a thicker cortex that thins more quickly with age.
The editors intend to start a new nonprofit journal.
In this edition of Null and Noteworthy, researchers upend early interventions and diagnostic boundaries.
By imaging and recording synaptic activity in living mouse embryos for the first time, new research reveals previously unknown patterns of development and hints at how those patterns are disrupted in autism.
A machine-learning technique applied to brain imaging data appears to predict a person’s mix of verbal intelligence, social affect and repetitive behaviors.
People whose brains look like those of people who carry autism-linked copy number variants also share markers of heart health.
Methodological choices and study-site artifacts confounded an attempt to replicate findings in support of an autism brain-imaging biomarker, according to new unpublished work.
