Molecular Mechanisms

In the current project, Basilis Zikopoulos and Arash Yazdanbakhsh plan to use sophisticated methodologies of machine learning to classify white matter cortical pathways in postmortem brain tissue samples from individuals with ASD and neurotypical individuals. Results from this study will provide novel data on key features of typical cortical white matter pathways and axon pathology in ASD.

White matter tracts are brain regions that have been understudied at the cellular and molecular level yet are clearly functionally altered in individuals with ASD. In the current project, Genevieve Konopka plans to assess the molecular make-up of the cellular constituents of white matter tracts in postmortem brain tissue from individuals with ASD compared with neurotypical individuals.
