On January 15th, 2018, El Sur newspaper published a report about the studies carried out by the Medical Images Analysis Group UdeC, in conjunction with collaborators from the Neurospin Center for the Study of the Brain, located in Saclay, France.

 

The article describes a study published on Brain magazine, developed at Neurospin by Marc Antoine d’Albis, under the direction of Josselin Houenou, which managed to analyze association short brain fibers in patients on the autism spectrum. The work found reduced connectivity in some superficial regions.

 

The work uses a association short fiber atlas, published in NeuroImage magazine, by the former Masters in Engineering Sciences with mention in Electrical Engineering UdeC student, Miguel Guevara, who is currently doing a PhD at the Neurospin center.

 

Both works were made with funds from the FONDECYT 1161427 Project and the Anillo ACT172121 Project.
