E-Mail It s now easier than ever to take part in a study that includes treatment for anxiety in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at the UC Davis MIND Institute s Autism Center of Excellence. Parents can get customized therapy for their child from the Institute s trained experts without leaving home. It s part of a clinical trial called the Specifying and Treating Anxiety in Autism Research, or STAAR Study. And it has now expanded to offer online, telehealth study treatment appointments. It compares the effectiveness of two treatments in children ages 8-14: the medication sertraline and individualized cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT is a well-researched, problem-solving, goal-directed therapy that examines and treats the relationships between thoughts and behaviors that are maintaining the anxious feelings. ....
Executive control differences in autism may be the result of a unique approach A new study by UC Davis MIND Institute researchers suggests that executive control differences in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be the result of a unique approach, rather than an impairment. Executive control difficulties are common in individuals with autism and are associated with challenges completing tasks and managing time. The study, published in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, sought to tease out whether these difficulties represent a disruption in proactive executive control (engaged and maintained before a cognitively demanding event) or in reactive executive control (engaged as the event occurs). ....

Executive control difficulties are common in individuals with autism and are associated with challenges completing tasks and managing time. The study, published in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, sought to tease out whether these difficulties represent a disruption in proactive executive control (engaged and maintained before a cognitively demanding event) or in reactive executive control (engaged as the event occurs). Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the researchers took brain scans of 141 adolescents and young adults ages 12-22 (64 with autism, 77 neurotypical controls) enrolled in the Cognitive Control in Autism Study. During the scan, the participants completed a task that required them to adapt their behavi ....
Scientists find clues about autism subtypes 6 minute read Researchers tracked brain growth and structure in hundreds of children from age 3 to age 12. UC Davis Health/Courtesy photo Support Local Journalism UC Davis MIND Institute researchers tracked brain changes in children over many years using MRI scans SACRAMENTO Two studies at the UC Davis MIND Institute provide clues about possible types of autism linked to brain structure, including size and white-matter growth. The research is based on brain scans taken over many years as part of the Autism Phenome Project and Girls with Autism, Imaging of Neurodevelopment studies. It shows the value of longitudinal studies that follow the same children from diagnosis into adolescence. ....
