This new study concerns me... A 🧵 about studies about outcomes after a prenatal diagnosis of agenesis of the corpus callosum. The lack of consensus about what an "isolated ACC" diagnosis includes continues to complicate things. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Research methods (particularly qualitative) folks (or anybody who is syllabusing): here are a few bibliographies I have compiled (some are embedded in blog posts of mine, some I have not had the time to make them into a blog post.
