NCT ID NCT06329245

First seen Mar 17, 2026 · Last updated May 26, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This observational study compares how prosocial behaviors (like helping and sharing) and brain connections develop in infants with a high or low risk of autism. Researchers will use developmental tests, EEG, and MRI scans during natural sleep to track differences. The goal is to better understand early signs of autism, not to provide treatment.
