Melissa in the Morning: Detecting Autism Sooner?

For the first time, researchers used positron emission topography (PET) imaging technology to detect differences in nerve impulses in the brain for autistic adults.

We spoke to Dr. James McPartland at the Yale School of Medicine and Dr. Dave Matuskey, Medical Director of Yale PET Center about the study and what happens next.
