Development and Brain Systems in Autism
At the 35th Carnegie Symposium on Cognition, “Development and Brain Systems in Autism,” 16 of the world’s most prominent autism researchers will present their latest groundbreaking findings on the disorder and discuss the direction of future study that will continue to improve scientists’ understanding of autism.
The symposium will provide a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge autism research and how different disciplines inform research in other areas. A number of fascinating projects will be discussed, including a follow-up study of Hans Asperger’s original patients from the 1940s, along with a description of the brain basis of the social difficulties in autism, and an investigation of how autism emerges in a child’s behavior even before the child is diagnosed.
Admission to this event is free and open to the public. For more information, and to view the symposium’s complete program and location, please visit the Web site: http://www.psy.cmu.edu/autismsymposium.
