| New research shows that the brains of boys and girls with autism function differently, which affects their clinical symptoms in distinct ways. The study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry identified functional brain organization markers that distinguish between females and males with autism and predict symptom severity. The researchers enrolled 773 children with autism, 637 boys and 136 girls. They used functional magnetic resonance imaging brain scans of the children. The scientists developed a spatiotemporal deep neural network (stDNN), which extracted informative, functional brain dynamics features that accurately distinguish between females and males with autism. The study also investigated the clinical symptom difference between the genders. |
