🤔 TLDR:
We studied the activity of communicating neural populations. Our findings:
- Provide new insight into the nature of this communication
- Inform the methods with which M/EEG functional connectivity should be measured

Easily understandable podcast on autism and Tylenol by Science Vs.
It explains that paracetamol does not 'cause' autism. It also explains why, initially, some studies found a correlation between the two.
Correlation is not causation.

🧠 Preprint Alert!
We show the first evidence that EEG brain-connectivity measures can predict changes in adaptive functioning (skills applied to navigate the everyday environment in a self-sufficient manner) in #autistic people.

EEG functional connectivity as a prognostic biomarker of adaptive function in autistic people
Many autistic people have challenges with adaptive function, impacting education, employment and independent-living goals. Adaptive function outcomes of autistic people vary considerably, which makes ...

A large study in Sweden found levels of autism *symptoms* were constant over time, even as autism *diagnoses* increased (implying broadening diagnostic criteria rather than real underlying increase) www.bmj.com/content/350/...
Autism phenotype versus registered diagnosis in Swedish children: prevalence trends over 10 years in general population samples
Objective To compare the annual prevalence of the autism symptom phenotype and of registered diagnoses for autism spectrum disorder during a 10 year period in children.

On way home after an emotional last meeting of @aims2trials.bsky.social in Nice.
This is not how participants were described at the start! So grateful to courageous researchers who listened & @elizaeaton.bsky.social for expert coordination of A-Reps group. Together we made a positive difference 😎

Today is the international day of the Woman and Girl in Science. To all badass women, scientists keep doing what you do: discovery, mentorship, and hard work. YOU belong in SCIENE.
To others, uplift the Women scientists you know, cite them, promote them, sponsor them, invite them - be an upstander.
