Charlotte Viktorsson; Sven Bölte; Terje Falck-Ytter – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
When observing other people during naturally paced and dynamic interactions, it is essential to look at specific locations at the right time to extract a maximum of socially informative content. In this study, we aimed to investigate the looking behavior of typically developing toddlers and toddlers later diagnosed with autism when observing other…

Miguel Morales-Navas; Cristian Perez-Fernandez; Sergio Castaño-Castaño; Ainhoa Sánchez-Gil; María Teresa Colomina; Xavier Leinekugel; Fernando Sánchez-Santed – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
In recent years, exposures to organophosphate pesticide have been highlighted as a possible cause or aggravating factor of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The present study examined if Wistar rats prenatally exposed to chlorpyrifos (CPF) at a dose of 1 mg/kg in GD 12.5-15.5 could express similar behaviors to those exposed to valproic acid (VPA,…
