DescriptionDescription |
In this rare but exciting opportunity, the researchers at CalTech will be able to record the activity of brain cells in individuals with autism and epilepsy while they are awake and experiencing symptoms. Until this study, this type of procedure was only able to be done in animals. The results will improve our understanding of how cells in the brains of people with autism communicate with one another. |
