TL;DR: The visual scanpaths of five high-functioning adult autistic males and five adult male controls were recorded using an infrared corneal reflection technique as they viewed photographs of human faces to suggest a mechanism that may subserve the social information processing deficits that characterize autism spectrum disorders.

TL;DR: This is the first study to demonstrate associations between the gut microbiota and cognition in human infants andexploratory analyses of neuroimaging data suggest the gut microbiome has minimal effects on regional brain volumes at 1 and 2 years of age.

TL;DR: These results provide new insights into the understudied early functional brain development process and shed light on the behavioral importance of the emerging thalamocortical connectivity during infancy.

TL;DR: A randomized trial comparing the amount of knowledge orally recalled from four different presentations of the same consent information was conducted in a non-clinic sample of 233 low-income parents who displayed a range of reading comprehension skill, emphasizing the necessity for clinicians and researchers to verify understanding of consent information, especially when there is risk of reduced literacy skill.

TL;DR: It was found that typically developing children in specialized classrooms had significantly more friends than did children with disabilities in those same settings, however, in child care settings the difference between the reported number of friendships did not reach statistical significance.
