It is possible to predict autistic spectrum spectroscopy (ASD) with high probability by infant brain scan

ByChristine Szeto

Up to now,Autistic Spectrum Disease (ASD)Diagnosis of 2 years old at the earliest, it was often diagnosed after getting older, but a team such as the North Carolina University Chapel Hill school can predict the trend of ASD in about 1 year after birth The results are announced.

This is the University of North Carolina at Chapel HillHeather Cody HazletIn his research, it is published in academic journal Nature.

Mr. Hazlet and colleagues targeted 102 children who have disabled brothers and older sisters and are considered to have a high risk of ASD and 42 children who are considered to have a low risk of ASD for 6 months of age, 12 months after birth, 24 years after birth I scanned my brain three times a month.

Then, it was found that there is a difference in the surface of parts of the brain that are responsible for advanced functions, such as language, at an early stage of the first year after birth for ASD children. Analysis of the scanned image of the brain using AI means that ASD children could be predicted with a high probability of 80%.

If diagnosis of ASD can be done at an early stage, behavior therapy etc. can be taken in from early stage.

Carole · Poby of the autistic center of the Royal Autist Society Autism Center acknowledged to the BBC that "ASD children will be able to receive appropriate assistance at an early stage," ASD said in various forms As it appears, "I can not identify all potential ASD children" commented.
