Question

Question 26 2 pts Sarah is working on a project where she is analyzing cellular brain organization in donated human brain tissue from people who had autism. She is trying to quantify and describe minicolumns. How are minicolumns different in individuals with autism? Autistic invididuals have a greater density of columns supporting more local, detailed processing rather than global processing. Autistic individuals have minicolumns that create more organized white matter tracts. Autistic individuals have vertical minicolumns that extend deeper into layers of the cortex Autistic individuals have a reduced density of minicolumns, supporting more global rather than local processing.

Answer 1

Answer: Autistic individuals have a greater density of columns supporting more local, detailed processing ratherthan global processing.

Explanation: Researches have found out that, autistic individuals have minicolumns with greater density compared to those without autism. In people with autism, these minicolumns have 5% to 10% more width than those without autism. This means that people with autism become independent and focus more on individual details rather than global processing.
