Visual and auditory attention in individuals with DYRK1A and SCN2A disruptive variants
Abstract This preliminary study sought to assess biomarkers of attention using electroencephalography (EEG) and eye tracking in two ultra‐rare monogenic populations associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Relative to idiopathic ASD (n = 12) and neurotypical comparison (n = 49) groups, divergent attention profiles were observed for the monogenic

The typical developmental trajectory of social and executive functions in late adolescence and early adulthood. [PDF]
Executive functions and social cognition develop through childhood into adolescence/early adulthood and are important for adaptive goal-oriented behaviour (Apperly, Samson & Humphreys, 2009; Blakemore & Choudhury, 2006). These functions are attributed to

ABSTRACT Among autistic individuals, a subphenotype of disproportionate megalencephaly (ASD‐DM) seen at three years of age is associated with co‐occurring intellectual disability and poorer prognoses later in life. However, many of the genes contributing to ASD‐DM have yet to be delineated. In this study, we identified additional ASD‐DM candidate genes

Depression, anxiety, and within-person variability in adults aged 18 to 85 years [PDF]
Mild depression and anxiety were investigated in relation to measures of within-person (WP) variability and mean RT from psychomotor, executive function, visual search, and word recognition tasks in a continuous age range (18 to 85 years, M = 50.33, SD =

First Impressions Towards Autistic People: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT Emerging evidence suggests that observers tend to form less favorable first impressions toward autistic people than toward non‐autistic people. These negative impressions may be associated with immediate behavioral responses, as well as long‐lasting attitudes toward those being observed that may negatively impact their psychosocial wellbeing ...

ABSTRACT In the English and Romanian Adoptees study, a substantial proportion of adoptees who suffered extended severe deprivation (26 of 101) displayed autistic characteristics termed quasi‐autism (QA). Here we directly compare this group with a community sample of early diagnosed autistic individuals (community autism; CA).

Motor Timing Intraindividual Variability in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment and Cognitively Intact Elders at Genetic Risk for Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]
Introduction: Intraindividual variability (IIV) in motor performance has been shown to predict future cognitive decline. The apolipoprotein E-epsilon 4 (APOE-ε4) allele is also a well-established risk factor for memory decline.
