Description
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive investigational tool that can help study the ways in which the brain develops and/or deviates from the typical trajectory. MRI offers insights into the structure, function, and metabolism of the brain, and has led to many hundreds of scientific publications. In this article, the authors review a specific subset of these publications that report on brain connectivity changes in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using either resting state functional MRI or diffusion tensor imaging.Purpose of Activity
To identify consistencies in the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and resting-state (RS) connectivity literature in relation to subjects with ASD.Learning Objectives
After completing this continuing education activity you will be able to:
Assess the resting state and diffusion tensor imaging connectivity literature regarding subjects with autism spectrum disorder.
