Research in Autism

Many groups throughout the University of Oxford and the Oxford area.

Our studies of disease examine the neuroanatomy of Autism, Alzheimer's and Schizophrenia using post-mortem human brain material. We are interested in the relationship between brain structure and function - particularly language and social cognition.

Maternal immunity in neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly autism

Professor Margaret Esiri

Brain Bank for Autism
