A Structural MRI Study of Human Brain Development from Birth to 2 Years (2008, methodology): “This is the first developmental MRI study in this age range which utilizes a high-resolution 3 Tesla scanner and novel automatic methods for tissue segmentation and parcellation, which are highly accurate, reliable, and efficient (Hazlett et al., 2005; Prastawa et al., 2005; Gilmore et al., 2007b).”
Normal Development of Brain Circuits (2010, background): “Conversely, accelerated brain growth in infancy seems to be one early manifestation of a wide range of developmental delays of motor, language, and cognitive functions that includes autism (Courchesne et al, 2001; Hazlett et al, 2005).”
Neuron number and size in prefrontal cortex of children with autism. (2011, background): “CLINICAL SIGNS OF AUTISM ARE often preceded by or emerge concurrently with a period of abnormal brain and head overgrowth.(1-12) This early neurobiological signal of abnormal development has been reported to begin at 9 to 18 months of age.”
Why Are Autism Spectrum Conditions More Prevalent in Males? (2011, neutral): “Total brain volume 3 [20,141–143]”
The UNC/UMN Baby Connectome Project (BCP): An Overview of the Study Design and Protocol Development (2018, neutral): “Imaging procedures for sleep scan All scanning of children up to 36 months of age will occur during natural sleep, using similar procedures to those previously documented (Dean et al., 2014; Gilmore et al., 2004; Hazlett et al., 2005; Lin et al., 2008).”
Early behavioral intervention, brain plasticity, and the prevention of autism spectrum disorder (2008, background): “The pattern of growth in head circumference (HC) in ASD is characterized by normal head size at birth followed by an accelerated pattern of growth in HC that appears to begin at about 4 months of age (Dawson et al., 2007; Gillberg & de Souza, 2002; Hazlett et al., 2005; Webb et al., in press).”
Diffusion tensor imaging of the corpus callosum in Autism (2007, positive): “Head circumference is an index of maximal brain volume in development and is significantly correlated with current brain volume (r = .67 in adolescents and adults) (Hazlett et al., 2005; Lainhart et al., 2005; Piven et al., 1996).”
Differences in White Matter Fiber Tract Development Present from 6 to 24 Months in Infants with Autism (2012, background): “, metal implants), (7) adopted children, and (8) family history of first degree relative with idiopathic intellectual disability, psychosis, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder.”
Mapping early brain development in autism. (2007, neutral): “By the time children with autism reach 2–4 years of age, overall MRI brain volume is abnormally enlarged by about 10% relative to typically developing 2-to 4-year-olds (Carper et al., 2002; Courchesne et al., 2001; Hazlett et al., 2005; Sparks et al., 2002).”
