New Birkbeck research has demonstrated that sleep interventions for babies with a family history of autism need to be explored.
The awards recognise Dr. Ori Ossmy for his broad and innovative catalogue of research and practical projects.
The awards supports early-career researchers on the path to leading their own research programmes.
The study confirmed that, at a group level, autistic people tend to process faces differently to non-autistic people.
The research study involved asking approximately 22,000 teenagers about their mental health.
The Lord Mayor of the City of London, Vincent Keaveny, unveiled a plaque to commemorate the pioneering Wohl Wolfson ToddlerLab.
Infants with more of the genetic differences related to autism were found to respond to faces differently, before signs of autism are noticeable.
The findings are important because detecting ADHD early means individuals can then benefit from early intervention and treatment options.
The episode showcases current cutting-edge research being undertaken into what happens in babies’ brains during sleep.
The findings on how infants explore their environment using touch may represent a potential target for early intervention.
