NIH funded research project at Arizona State University to study memory decline in autistic adults using multi-modal MRI imaging and cognitive testing over time.
Description
This project aims to characterize hippocampal and memory aging trajectories in middle-aged and older adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and identify MRI measures that predict accelerated memory decline. The study will use longitudinal data from well-characterized cohorts undergoing cognitive testing and multi-modal MRI scans every two years.
