Body maps in the infant brain: implications for neurodevelopmental disabilities.

WHAT IT FOUND

This paper reviews how infant brains represent the body, linking neural maps to social development.

It suggests these mechanisms might explain imitation difficulties in autism, but it reports no new patient outcomes or tested interventions.

What this paper is

This is a review article summarizing existing research on how the infant brain maps the body. It discusses theoretical implications for developmental disabilities but does not present new clinical trial data, patient outcomes, or tested interventions.
