Earliest identifiable findings in autism indicate that the autistic brain develops differently from
the typical brain in the first year of life, after a period of typical development. Twin studies …

development. The speed and complexity of early brain development superimposed on …

The period immediately after birth is a critical developmental window, capturing rapid
maturation of brain structure and a child's earliest experiences. Large-scale brain systems …

Advances in methodology have led to expanded application of resting-state functional MRI
