5.20 Alteration of Hub Organization in the White Matter Structural Network in Toddlers With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Two-Year Follow-Up Study

Abstract

The goals of this session are 1) to investigate longitudinal changes in hub regions two years after diagnosis in the whole-brain white matter (WM) structural network among toddlers (ages 2–3 years) with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or developmental delay (DD); and 2) to further demonstrate the relationship between changes in the nodal efficiency of hubs and changes in clinical symptoms in the ASD group.
