Primary Objective: Investigate whether early valganciclovir treatment of children with SNHL of * 20 dB, unilateral or bilateral, and a confirmed congenital CMV infection can prevent deterioration of the hearing loss at follow-up (age 18 * 22 months…
To study sensory processing and hyperexcitability in children with ASD and epilepsy using neurophysiological measurements (EEG/ERP).
Description of cognitive, psychiatric and neuroanatomical profile in adult women with triple X syndrome compared with a group of healthy controls on average of the same age and of the same IQ. IQ is considered as a potential confounder and treated…
The objective of this study is to assess common and variable processes related to executive functioning and affective processing bias on the behavioral, neurocognitive and neurobiological level between patients affected by autism and/or depression.
The main objective of the current study is to examine whether people with ASD have over-active inhibitory inter-connections in visual processing areas that can account for their over-sensitivity to perceptual dissimilarities.
The objective of this study is to know more about the relationship between cognitive copingstrategies and anxiety and depression. This knowledge is helpfull in development of treatment for anxiety and depression in ASD.
We aim to identify biomarkers (from neuroimaging, eye tracking, EEG, cognition, biochemistry, proteomics, genomics) for stratification of ASD. Biomarkers will be crucial to aid more accurate and earlier diagnosis of ASD. They are also needed for…
Our primary objective is to investigate the development of structural and functional connectivity in autism and ADHD in comparison to the typical development of connectivity. A secondary objective is to investigate the effects of ADHD and autism…
To study the relation between face processing and activation in cortical pathways in adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
The two primary objectives are to test the hypothesis that (1) structural and functional abnormalities of the fronto-striatal circuits are related to the development of compulsive and impulsive behaviour in ASD and OCD; and that (2) the glutamate…
The main aim of the current study is to specify neurocognitive mechanisms behind rigid behaviour in autism. For this reason, participants will be required to execute a computer task, in which they will need to make their own choice of tasks, during…
The main objective of this study is to measure executive functions at two levels. First we will compare the results of neuropsychological testing in elderly with autism and compare these findings to elderly without autism. Secondly we will compare…
This study aims to gain more insight in the sexual development of adolescent boys with ASDs.The main research question is: How do high functioning boys with ASD develop sexually? The main research question is worked out in 2 parts/1. Which sexual…
The main objective of this study is to determine how children with ADHD and ASD differ from each other in learning from social and material reward. The secondary objectives are: 1) To determine how predictability of the rewards influences learning…
The overall goal is to gain insight in the effects of Animal Assisted Interventions in adults with autism spectrum disorder.This object is divided into three main research quenstions:Psychological parameters: What is the effect AAI on self-reported…
The main objective of this study is to investigate whether adolescents with ASD, compared to healthy controls, show difficulties in generating and updating predictions about an unfolding action sequence. Using Eye-tracking (ET) and…
The main aim of this research is to search for sensitive and specific QEEG markers to differentiate between children with a developmental disorder, in this case ADHD and ASD, and a control group and to differentiate between these two developmental…
Investigation on white matter integrity in autism with diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging
We aim at performing a thorough analysis of structural and hodological (i.e. connectional) properties of white matter in autistic patients, at the level of resolution allowed by diffusion-weighted MR images. This will include an analysis of…
We intend to study the role of fronto-striatal circuitry and cognitive control in the inflexible behaviour that is a defining feature of autism.
Examine whether there are differences in both instrumental as well as clinical assessment of movement disorders among drug naive patients with autism compared with matched healthy controls.
