Understanding Eye-contact Avoidance in People With Autism
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often have difficulty looking others in the eyes. This is typically interpreted as a sign of social and personal indifference, but self-reports from people with autism suggests otherwise. Many say that looking others in the eye is uncomfortable or s...
Center for Mesoscale Mapping
Brain science tools have advanced in several distinct directions. Advanced tools in molecular biology now allow neuroscientists to study distinct patterns of gene expression in individual neural cells, leading to the potential for a comprehensive atlas of cell types. In parallel, tools that allow...
Advanced MRI of Spinal Cord Function Could Provide Important Information for the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
A team of investigators at the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging and Vanderbilt University Medical Center has reported a new approach to measuring spinal cord function that could help in more accurately understanding the degree of spinal cord damage in relapsing-remitting multiple sclero...
