Researchers developed a carbon-fiber nanosensor capable of distinguishing Autism Spectrum Disorder from Intellectual Disability by measuring real-time nitric oxide production in patient-derived stem cells. This approach successfully differentiates the two conditions even when they share identical genetic mutations, offering a potential biomarker-based diagnostic tool.
This study proposes using YOLOv8-11 object detection models on preprocessed structural MRI scans to detect neuroanatomical abnormalities associated with autism spectrum disorder, achieving accuracy rates exceeding 98%. The framework processes 3D MRI data into 2D image sequences across multiple planes while accounting for age-related brain changes, demonstrating superior performance compared to traditional deep learning architectures for potential clinical support in early ASD diagnosis.
This systematic review examined 17 studies on cannabidiol (CBD), cannabidivarin (CBDV), and THC use in pediatric neurodevelopmental disorders, finding generally mild-to-moderate adverse effects with low treatment discontinuation rates. Preliminary evidence suggests behavioral improvements in autism and Fragile X syndrome, and seizure reduction in Rett syndrome, though most studies were observational or case series with differential effects between CBD alone and CBD combined with THC.
Researchers developed a flexible sensor system using liquid metal electrodes to detect color preferences in autistic children through touch-based interaction combined with machine learning. The system achieved 98% recognition accuracy and offers a non-burdensome method for individualized color preference assessment.
This cross-cultural study examined narrative ability and visual attention patterns in autistic individuals from the United States and Hong Kong using eye-tracking technology while participants narrated a wordless picture book. Results indicated that autistic individuals from both cultures exhibited similar difficulties with identifying key story components and demonstrated more rigid gaze patterns compared to non-autistic controls, suggesting cultural and linguistic factors interact with autism to influence narrative abilities.
