Large scale validation of an early-age eye-tracking biomarker of an autism spectrum disorder subtype
Few clinically validated biomarkers of ASD exist which can rapidly, accurately, and objectively identify autism during the first years of life and be used to support optimized treatment outcomes and advances in precision medicine.

Multiple Sampling Capsule Robot for Studying Gut Microbiome
A multiple sampling capsule robot (MSCR) is developed for longitudinal gut microbiome analysis. Employing electromagnetic field control, the MSCR can locomote actively, precisely align the selected channel, and collect up to six microbiome samples with minimal cross‐contamination.

The Diagnosis of Autism: From Kanner to DSM-III to DSM-5 and Beyond
In this paper we review the impact of DSM-III and its successors on the field of autism—both in terms of clinical work and research. We summarize the events leading up to the inclusion of autism as a “new” official diagnostic category in DSM-III, the ...

Implementation of a Biologically Inspired Responsive Joint Attention System for a Social Robot
This work introduces a responsive joint attention system in the social robot Mini, enabling dynamic, human‐like responses based on the user's head, body, and gaze. The system enhances user engagement and robot responsiveness. An experiment reveals significant improvements in social presence when the system is active, validating its effectiveness in ...

Advances in the pathogenesis of Rett syndrome using cell models
Most Rett syndrome (RTT) patients are affected by the MECP2 gene mutations. And the mutations of MECP2 have wide effects on different cell types of nervous system, including neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia, which always combined together to lead to abnormalities in the whole neural network.

Model of autism: increased ratio of excitation/inhibition in key neural systems
Autism is a severe neurobehavioral syndrome, arising largely as an inherited disorder, which can arise from several diseases. Despite recent advances in identifying some genes that can cause autism, its underlying neurological mechanisms are uncertain ...

Social Engagement of Children with Autism during Interaction with a Robot [PDF]
Imitation plays an important role in development, being one of the precursors of social cognition. Even though some children with autism imitate spontaneously and other children with autism can learn to imitate, the dynamics of imitation is affected in the large majority of cases.
