Autism Risk Gene Linked to Differences in Brain Structure

Healthy individuals who carry a gene variation linked to an increased risk of autism have structural differences in their brains that may help explain how the gene affects brain function and increases vulnerability for autism. The results of this innovative brain imaging study are described in an article by LONI Researchers, Emily Dennis and Neda Jahanshad, in the groundbreaking neuroscience journal Brain Connectivity.
