Children who grow up in disadvantaged neighborhoods – areas with higher levels of crime and deprivation, and lower access to community resources – are at risk of developing depression, and new research led by faculty at Binghamton University, State University of New York, may help to explain why. 

Getting a timely diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder is a major challenge, but new research out of York University shows that how young adults, and potentially children, grasp objects could offer a simpler way to diagnose someone on the autism spectrum. The team, part of an international collaboration, used machine learning to analyze naturalistic hand movements – specifically, finger motions during grasping – in autistic and non-autistic individuals.
