2 7 th Annual International Meeting For Autism Research (IMFAR) 2008

Welcome 

IMFAR Welcome 

Welcome to the 7 th annual International Meeting For Autism Research (IMFAR). We 

are very pleased to be able to host this International Meeting in London – the first 

ever meeting outside of North America. London, we hope, needs no introduction but 

combines unique history and traditions, with cutting-edge modern culture and close 

access to mainland Europe. 

The decision to host IMFAR in Europe for the first time was intended to increase 

international awareness and participation at the meeting. Fortunately, this has been 

a great success. We received a record number of Abstracts (800 excluding invited 

presentations) from countries around the globe and for the first time the meeting has 

over 1,100 delegates. We have also made a number of incremental changes to the 

format of the meeting, in line with feedback that we have received over the years 

and these are outlined in the following pages by Manny DiCicco-Bloom, Program 

Chair. Clearly each of these changes to the format will alter the feeling of the meeting 

and we will be eager to hear from each of you about their effectiveness as we make 

plans for next year’s meeting. Please give us your appraisal by completing the online 

feedback form that will be available on the INSAR home page after the meeting. 

We wish to thank the many contributors to INSAR and IMFAR. The success of the 

meeting is due to the dedication and hard work of many individuals, including the 

INSAR Board, the Scientific Program Committee, those who took time to review 

Abstracts and the generosity of those who provide funding for the meeting. We are 

also particularly grateful to Autism Speaks who provided funds up-front to underwrite 

the contract for the conference venue – funds without which the meeting would not 

be happening in Europe for the first time. Other financial support for this meeting 

came from private foundations and US and UK public agencies and we are grateful 

to each of these (in alphabetical order): the Autism Society of America, the Medical 

Research Council, the National Institutes of Health, Research Autism and the Simons 

Foundation. If you have the opportunity, please express your gratitude to members 

of these groups who will all be present at the meeting. Finally, a number of exhibitors 

provide financial support in return for space at the meeting and we hope that you will 

find their exhibits of interest and help. 

We are sure that you will find the 3 days stimulating, sociable and educational. 

Welcome to London!

President’s Address 

President’s Welcome and Society News 

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 7th annual meeting of the International Society for Autism 

Research (INSAR). As you know, IMFAR is the official scientific meeting for the Society. As such, I want to take 

this opportunity to update you on Society activities over the past year. One of our major achievements was the 

creation of the Society’s journal, Autism Research. Our first issue of Autism Research was published in March 

of this year, and the second issue will be published in May. We will continue to publish every other month, 

before becoming a monthly publication within the next few years. We encourage all IMFAR attendees to submit 

papers to the Journal, whose emphasis is on biological and psychological mechanisms, especially with respect 

to developmental processes. Judging from the number of article downloads (4,000 in the first two weeks after 

Issue 1 went online!), as well as the feedback from scientific community, I am confident that our new Journal 

will be a resounding success. Autism Research prides itself on fast turn around times for the review process, 

and we aspire to be the leading publication in the field. Our Editorial Board is composed of numerous well 

recognized leaders in the field, each of whom will be submitting some of their best work in these earlier years 

in order to help establish a first rate reputation for the Journal. I am very thankful for the efforts of the Journal’s 

Editor-in-Chief – Anthony Bailey, and the Associate Editors – Ed Cook, Sally Rogers, Jim Sutcliffe, as well as 

the for the tireless work of our publisher Ms. Colette Bean of Wiley-Blackwell, Inc. 

A second major achievement of the past year was the establishment of the Society’s webpage (http://autisminsar.org/). 

This webpage contains Society news, an archive of past IMFAR meeting abstracts, a jobs board, 

and links to Autism Research, various funding sources and autism organizations. Importantly, as all of you 

surely know by now, this webpage is being used for IMFAR registration. Unfortunately, there continues to be 

some confusion about the distinction between registering for INSAR membership and registering for the IMFAR 

meeting. These are two distinct processes with distinct benefits. IMFAR is currently open to everyone, though 

given the unprecedented demand for registration this year, future meetings may need to give preference to 

INSAR members. INSAR runs the IMFAR meeting, and INSAR’s webpage should be used for (1) paying your 

annual membership dues (due by January 1 of each year), as well as IMFAR registration (typically starting in 

February or March). I wish to encourage all IMFAR attendees to consider becoming a member of the Society. 

Membership dues go toward supporting all of the Society’s activities, and provide several important benefits, 

including: 

1) Free online access to Autism Research (through autism-insar.org) 

2) IMFAR registration discounts (and in the future, possible preferential registration) 

3) Ability to vote and run for elected office in INSAR (next elections to be in January 2009) 

4) Ability to post advertisements on our website’s Jobs Posting page 

Given the growth of IMFAR, from only about 300 attendees in its first year, to nearly 1200 this year, we are 

expecting even larger attendance for IMFAR 2009, to be held May 7-9 in Chicago, and IMFAR 2010, to be held 

in May in Philadelphia (exact dates to be posted on autism-insar.org by this summer). 

In closing, I want to draw attention to and to thank the members of INSAR’s Board of Directors: Peter Mundy 

(VP), Katherine Loveland (Treasurer), Jennifer Pinto-Martin (Secretary), Sally Rogers (ex officio), as well as 

various committee chairs (Membership - Nurit Yirmiya; Elections – Joe Piven; Student - Mathew Goodwin). 

I want to extend a special thanks to Autism Speaks for their continuing financial support and to the Simons 

Foundation for providing support for this year’s meeting, to Jonathan Wood, our webmaster, and to Tony 

Charman and Manny DiCicco-Bloom for their work as Conference Chairman and Scientific Program Chair, 

respectfully, for this year’s meeting. Having been involved in running past meetings, I can attest to the hard 

work required to organize and execute these meetings. This year’s meeting was especially challenging, owing 

to a set of new procedures and mechanisms established this year in order to make the meeting run more 

efficiently and to be more cost effective to the Society. Tony and Manny bore the brunt of these transition 

costs, at times spending the majority of their work week on IMFAR business. The Society is indebted to them 

and I am greatly appreciative of their many hours of volunteer service. 

Sincerely, 

Bob Schultz 

INSAR, President 


Program 

IMFAR 2008 Scientific Program 

Dear IMFAR Delegate, 

We have instituted many exciting changes this year in the scientific program that should enhance 

communication and learning throughout the meeting. Along with these changes in meeting structure, you 

will notice the dramatic expansion of the Program Book to include the title and location of every one of the 

greater than 800 submitted abstracts, and the creation of a separate Abstract Book. Below, we briefly describe 

the new format, which is conveniently displayed visually in the first three pages of this Program Book. The 

most important changes in meeting structure are the scheduling of Invited Educational Symposia in each 

half day so there is no competition between them; the introduction of assigned poster presentation hours so 

that delegates can go to a poster with a guarantee to find someone to speak with; and the introduction of a 

new form of session, the Roundtables, where brief presentations by leading investigators will be followed by 

audience participation. Roundtables are designed to bring together a diverse range of opinions in hot topic 

areas where the ideas and the eventual goals of the field are still in development. 

The meeting is organized into six (6) half days intervals, each with a separate section in the Program Book. 

Each half day has a poster session that includes 4 to 5 topics, and is further described below. For each 

morning, we start with a Keynote Speaker, followed by a Coffee Break, to allow room re-organization. Then 

over the next two hours, we have the Invited Educational Symposium (IES) that is comprised of 4-5 speakers 

that occurs in parallel with the two Oral abstract presentations. Throughout the morning, one has the option 

to visit posters (up for the entire half day) when the presenters will be present, as indicated by the time stated 

with each abstract and its poster board number. This year the Program Book lists every presented abstract, 

especially the posters, which comprise greater than 80% of all communications, a new feature to enhance your 

ability to find the information and authors you choose at the meeting. 

POSTER PRESENTATIONS: All Posters will be presented for a half day period, in either the Champagne 

Terrace, where poster boards 1-60 are located, and the Bordeaux, where boards 61-120 are located. You will 

find the Velcro pieces needed to hang your posters in each room. While you are welcome to be at your poster 

for the entire half day period, presenters are required to attend their posters during the one hour period starting 

at the assigned time, also noted in the Program Book. 

The afternoon of each day starts with lunch, during which speakers from autism research related organizations 

make presentations. The second poster session of the day also starts at this time. Immediately after lunch, 

there is another series of parallel IES and Oral presentations. Then after we take a Coffee Break, the Lifetime 

Achievement Award ceremony occurs on Thursday, and parallel Roundtables and a second set of Oral 

presentations occurs on Friday and Saturday. Of course throughout the afternoon, one has the option to visit 

posters when the presenters are present, or anytime else. 

The Program Book is organized into sections devoted to each half day. To help you know immediately what 

is scheduled for each half day, the entire program is briefly organized over the first page or two. This way 

you can plan to attend Keynotes, IES and Roundtables without having to page through all the titles of every 

individual abstract in the Oral and Poster sessions. Nonetheless, each half day lists every abstract presentation 

that occurs, eight (8) of them in each Oral session, and between 15-45 in each of the 4 to 5 poster categories 

over the several hour period. The convenient Author Name Index at the back provides you with every abstract 

number the author is associated with, the one on which she/he is presenting author (in BOLD) as well as an 

e-mail address. 

The Abstract Book contains every abstract in order of presentation and also the descriptive paragraphs 

provided by Keynote Speakers, Awardees, IES Organizers and Speakers and Roundtable Moderators, and also 

contains the Author Name Index. This book is available in PDF format from the INSAR website. 

We hope the new meeting structure and Program/Abstract Books provide a more rich experience for the 

autism community, especially as we continue to grow at such a remarkable pace. We must acknowledge the 

unwavering support of Allena Buchhold at Confex and Jonathan Wood at Mixxmedia for their support and 

guidance as we create these new assets for INSAR and its annual meeting, IMFAR.

responsibility for its accuracy. Submitted IMFAR abstracts are reviewed only to ensure that the authors will be 

presenting empirical data and that aims and conduct of the study, as far as can be ascertained, are consistent 

with international ethical guidelines for scientific research (Declaration of Helsinki). Acceptance of an abstract 

for presentation at the Meeting does not represent an endorsement by the Society of the quality or accuracy of 

the data and their interpretation, which judgment must await publication in a peer review journal. Consumers 

should recognize that study data presented at meetings is often preliminary and in some cases speculative, 

and that findings and conclusions have not undergone the rigors of a true peer review process.

100 Time to give up on a single explanation for autism? 

8:30 AM - 9:45 AM - Cremant 

Speaker: F. HappéInstitute of Psychiatry, KCL 

In this talk I will suggest that we should abandon the 

search for a single unifying cause for the diverse symptoms 

defining autism. I will present recent evidence of behavioural 

fractionation of social impairment, communication difficulties 

and rigid and repetitive behaviours in a population-based 

sample. Twin analyses in the same sample suggest largely 

nonoverlapping genes acting on each of these traits. At the 

cognitive level, too, attempts at a single explanation for the 

symptoms of autism appear to have failed. Instead, different 

cognitive accounts are needed for the different aspects of 

autism, and distinct neural systems appear to be involved. 

Implications and future research directions will be discussed.

What role, if any, the host immune response plays in the 

etiology of autism has been a controversial and understudied 

aspect of autism research. Recently, the advent of novel mouse 

models, powerful cell culture systems, and creative humanbased 

studies has substantiated a critical role for the immune 

response in autism. The goal of this session is to highlight some 

of these recent and diverse contributions.

Autism spectrum disorder is perhaps the most highly genetic 

neurodevelopmental disorder. Although its symptoms are 

biologically based and reflect particular brain systems, it is 

unclear how genetic determinants contribute to the biological 

differences. There is much debate as to how the genome can, 

and cannot, be related to the neurobiological endophenotype. 

Since these challenges have been confronted by researchers 

in fields outside autism, the purpose of this program is to learn 

from experts who are applying genetic approaches to behaviour 

and brain imaging.

119 Synaptic and clock genes in autism spectrum disorders 

8:30 AM - 9:45 AM - Cremant 

Speaker: T. BourgeronInstitut Pasteur 

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by 

impairments in communication and social interaction, as well 

as restricted, repetitive and stereotyped behaviors. Our genetic 

studies point to one synaptic pathway, including cell adhesion 

molecules (neuroligins NLGN3, NLGN4 and neurexins NRXN1) 

and scaffolding proteins (SHANK3) associated with the disorder. 

This pathway is crucial for synapse formation/maintenance 

and correct balance between GABAergic and glutamatergic 

synaptic currents. Interestingly, mice with neuroligin mutations 

show reduced social interactions and ultrasonic vocalizations. 

Moreover, we recently reported genetic mutations in ASD 

that alter synthesis of melatonin, a key regulator of circadian 

rhythms involved in sleep-wake cycles and modulator of 

GABAergic currents, neurite outgrowth and memory formation. 

We propose that some cases of ASD may result from excess 

GABAergic currents in specific brains regions due to either 

altered synaptic genes or circadian rhythms. A better 

characterization of the interplay between synaptic and clock 

genes may shed light on several features observed in ASD, 

including alterations in sleep and memory storage/formation.

Introductory Remarks: Autism Speaks - Geraldine Dawson.

Keynote Speaker. 


Autism is a heterogeneous developmental disorder that is 

defined clinically. Although clinical diagnosis is reliable, taking 

the next steps and determining etiology, pathophysiology 

and treatment targets will require a greater understanding 

of the neurobiology. While animal models and human brain 

scanning allow exploration of molecular and cellular pathways 

and networks, they must ultimately be related to cellular 

disorders of the autism brain. Human autism tissue supplies 

a “missing link” which complements and in some cases 

replaces other study methods. Four scientists who are using 

human brain tissue to study autism anatomical, developmental, 

environmental and genetic mechanisms will describe new 

insights and advance novel hypotheses.

Recognizing commonalities in action and behaviour between 

ourselves and others may be a very important prerequisite for 

1) social understanding and development, 2) understanding 

when and how other people will behave as we do, and 3) 

learning from others by watching. This capacity may be 

impaired in autism. Such ideas gave rise to the self-other 

matching hypothesis of autism, and later, the mirror neuron 

hypothesis, and have generated wide interest in related 

studies in human and non-human primates. This symposium 

will consider the roles of mirror neurons and brain regions in 

self-other matching functions, including empathy, imitation, 

joint attention, mentalizing and auditory-visual integration and 

discuss their relevance to clinical practice.

The aim of the session is to consider the strengths and 

weaknesses of the main diagnostic instruments currently in 

use in the field of autism. Five contributors will each present 

information about the measure they have been involved in 

developing. They will briefly describe its theoretical framework, 

aims, scope, development process, and data on training of 

assessors, usage, and validity from recent research. The 

discussant is asked to sum up the strengths and weaknesses 

of the instruments with reference to research and to clinical 

practice. The discussant will then facilitate large-group 

consideration of what should be the ‘gold standard’ diagnostic 

tools and process followed in applications for major research 

funding in studies with clinical and non-clinical samples. 

(Currently ADOS and ADI-R are the essential tools in NIH 

National Database for Autism Research.) If time allows, 

there may be consideration of what should be the minimum 

diagnostic process described as followed in studies submitted 

for publication.

Organizer: Craig Newschaffer 


Speaker: J. N. ConstantinoWashington University School of 

Medicine 

New discoveries in molecular genetics are changing the 

landscape of our understanding of the causes of autism. In 

familial autism, it is common (significantly more so than in 

the general population) for clinically-unaffected male family 

members to exhibit features of what is known as the broader 

autism phenotype (BAP). This may not be true for females 

or for non-familial autism. The implications of the BAP for 

understanding the biology of autism are potentially profound. 

This presentation will cover recent scientific findings on the 

clinical, genetic, neurobiologic and epidemiologic features 

of the BAP, how it relates to other autism endophenotypes, 

and how quantitative characterization of the BAP can aid in 

the search for core genetic and neurobiologic components of 

autistic syndromes.

Evoked Response 

Potentials 

(Mancy) 

Although a strong heritable component to autism risk has been 

known for decades, there is now great interest in determining 

whether there are also important environmental risk factors. 

The impetus to search for environmental factors has been 

generated by concern over rising autism prevalence, but also 

evidence showing phenotypic discordance in monozygotic twins 

and epidemiologic evidence linking rare xenobiotic exposures to 

autism. This symposium will provide the current thinking from 

the fields of environmental health science, epidemiology, and 

genetics relevant to investigation of potential environmental 

risk factors for autism. Presenters will review existing evidence, 

describe current research rationales and approaches, and offer 

informative examples from their work.

Sensory differences are commonly reported in people 

with autism. Often they are among the most problematic 

symptoms. This symposium will examine the phenomenon 

of sensory symptomatology, the research methodology 

used to characterize and explain the observed behaviors, 

and the treatments that are being used in the community. A 

translational approach will be emphasized to inform both basic 

researchers and clinicians on future avenues of study.

The second diagnostic criterion for autism, qualitative 

impairments and delays in communication, is conceptually 

the most difficult to model in animals. While we have many 

tests for social and repetitive behaviors in model organisms, 

little is known in most non-primate species about signaling 

mechanisms that represent true communication in a social 

setting. Particularly for mice, a species useful for testing 

hypotheses about candidate gene mutations in autism, new 

approaches are needed to detect the communicative value of 

their olfactory signals, ultrasonic vocalizations, and the possible 

presence of Theory of Mind mentalization and empathy. Our 

Roundtable session is designed to generate ideas for optimal 

assays to evaluate communication in animal models of autism. 

Behavioral neuroscientists expert in mouse, rat, and bird 

communication will present photographs, videos, and audioclips 

of their tests for olfactory, auditory, visual, gustatory, and tactile 

signaling between individuals. Clinical experts will critique 

the relevance of each task to the qualitative and quantitative 

communication deficits seen in autism and autism spectrum 

disorders. Back-and-forth discussion between the basic and 

clinical roundtable participants, along with input from members 

of the audience, will focus on identifying tasks with optimal 

face validity to the second diagnostic symptom of autism.
