As seen in聽,听,听,听,听, and multiple other news sites, research by NYITCOM Assistant Professor聽, could help to explain how the sense of smell is impacted in individuals with autism. The study, which leverages cutting-edge techniques like intrinsic optical imaging and machine learning, analyzes a mouse model of autism and reports differences in the neurological processes responsible for smell.
鈥淭hese findings illustrate why more studies related to the sensory aspect of autism are so important,鈥� Otazu said in InnovateLI. 鈥淏y documenting the neural processes in the mouse model of autism, our findings may help to explain the brain circuitry of humans with autism and one day lead to advancements that improve these individuals鈥� quality of life.鈥�
