Hello, and thank you for joining this neurodiem scientific video
presentation.
My name is Joe Piven.
I'm a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist
at the University of North Carolina,
and Director of the Carolina Institute for Developmental
Disabilities.
This presentation is being recorded remotely
during the COVID-19 pandemic.
So you will only be hearing my voice commenting
on the slides being presented.
My research is focused on the pathogenesis
of autism and the related neurodevelopmental disorders.
Today, I will be presenting a talk
entitled, "Infant Brain and Behavior
Development in Autism--
Potential Relevance to Clinical Practice,"
that summarizes work over the last 15 years
from my research team and others on brain and behavior
development during the first two years of life and infants
at high familial risk for autism.
