In this presentation, Brittany Travers explores the brain's role in sensory features in autistic individuals, focusing on the brain stem. As a psychologist interested in occupational therapy and neuroimaging, she uses diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to map white matter pathways. Her research links increased white matter density in the brain stem to higher sensory severity in autistic children, particularly highlighting tracks like the medial and lateral lemniscus. Brittany discusses how these findings suggest the brain stem's significant impact on sensory processing in autism and outlines future research directions, including studying brain stem development in younger children and exploring new imaging techniques. This talk provides valuable insights into potential targeted therapies for sensory and motor features in autism. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this video with your colleagues!
