Brain Hyperconnectivity in Children with Autism and its Links to Social Deficits
Kaustubh Supekar,Lucina Q. Uddin,Amirah Khouzam,Jennifer M. Phillips,William D. Gaillard,Lauren Kenworthy,Benjamin E. Yerys,Benjamin E. Yerys,Chandan J. Vaidya,Chandan J. Vaidya,Vinod Menon +10 more
TL;DR: Brain hyperconnectivity predicted symptom severity in ASD, such that children with greater functional connectivity exhibited more severe social deficits and was associated with higher levels of fluctuations in regional brain signals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional anatomy of cognitive development: fMRI of verbal fluency in children and adults
William D. Gaillard,Lucie Hertz-Pannier,S. H. Mott,A. S. Barnett,D. LeBihan,William H. Theodore +5 more
TL;DR: In a test of verbal fluency, children tended to activate cortex more widely than adults, but activation patterns for fluency appear to be established by middle childhood, which may reflect developmental plasticity for the ongoing organization of neural networks, which underlie language capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional cerebral blood flow during object naming and word reading.

TL;DR: For instance, this paper used positron emission tomography (PET) to measure regional cerebral blood flow while subjects named words and pictures of objects silently or aloud, and found that participants showed similar blood flow increases in extrastriate visual cortices compared with a visual noise control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infantile spasms: A U.S. consensus report
John M. Pellock,Richard A. Hrachovy,Shlomo Shinnar,Tallie Z. Baram,David Bettis,Dennis J. Dlugos,William D. Gaillard,Patricia A. Gibson,Gregory L. Holmes,Douglas R. Nordli,Christine O'Dell,W. Donald Shields,Edwin Trevathan,James W. Wheless +13 more
TL;DR: The overall goal of the workshop was to improve IS outcomes by assisting treating physicians with early recognition and diagnosis of IS, initiation of short duration therapy with a first‐line treatment, timely electroencephalography (EEG) evaluation of treatment to evaluate effectiveness, and, if indicated, prompt treatment modification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noninvasive assessment of language dominance in children and adolescents with functional MRI A preliminary study
Lucie Hertz-Pannier,William D. Gaillard,William D. Gaillard,S. H. Mott,S. H. Mott,Charles A. Cuenod,Susan Y. Bookheimer,S. Weinstein,J. Conry,P. H. Papero,Steven J. Schiff,D. Le Bihan,William H. Theodore +12 more
TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging can be used to assess language lateralization noninvasively in children and has the potential to replace current functional mapping techniques in patients, and to provide important data on brain development.
