autism spectrum disorder

By IMBA- Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences December 25, 2023A breakthrough in autism research has been achieved with the CHOOSE system, developed by IMBA and ETH Zurich researchers. This technology enables detailed study of genetic mutations in human brain organoids, offering profound insights into autism’s underlying mechanisms and paving the way for broader disease research applications.The CHOOSE system, an innovative approach combining brain organoids and genetics, transforms…

An advanced AI system accurately diagnoses autism in young children by analyzing brain MRIs, demonstrating a 98.5% accuracy rate. This innovative technology, developed by a multi-disciplinary team, promises to enhance early detection and treatment of autism, addressing current delays in diagnosis due to limited testing resources.A groundbreaking AI system now diagnoses autism in children under two years old with 98.5% accuracy using brain MRIs, paving the way for earlier, more effective treatment and management of…

Autism, a development disorder, can end up impairing a person's ability to communicate and interact. It affects the nervous system and affects cognitive, social, emotional and physical well-being of an individual. To understand the symptoms disorder in detail, a team of researchers studied lab-grown brains developed from human cells and uncovered changes in neurological structure that could be behind an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) known as Pitt-Hopkins syndrome. The team was also able to recover lost genetic functions…
