Caltech neuroscientists find link between agenesis of the corpus callosum and autism.

Building on their prior work (see “Bridging the Gap”), a team of neuroscientists at Caltech now report that rare patients who are missing connections between the left and right sides of their brain—a condition known as agenesis of the corpus callosum (AgCC)—show a strikingly high incidence of autism. The study is the first to show a link between the two disorders.
