Aberrant white matter microstructure in children with 16p11.2 deletions.

For: All,

This brain imaging study found that children with 16p11.2 deletions have a unique pattern of differences in the brain's white matter (the 'wiring' that connects brain regions), and that these differences in brain connectivity were linked to lower nonverbal IQ scores, helping researchers better understand why cognitive challenges are common in children with this deletion.
