Comments A new study has found that an intensive early-intervention therapy that is effective at improving young children's cognition and language skills can normalize the brain activity of those with autism.

The study, published last month in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, found that children who received the intervention showed greater brain activation when viewing faces rather than objects, a response typical of the non-autistic children in the study, and the opposite of the children with autism who received other interventions.
