These data appropriately have spawned much research into the exploration of potential etiologies as well as the development of diagnostic tests, particularly in terms of neuro-imaging and EEG, with the hope of establishing a definitive diagnosis at the earliest possible age, in order to facilitate early intervention, while the immature brain still holds high compensatory promise.
