Neurocognitive and electrophysiological evidence of altered face processing in parents of children with autism: Implications for a model of abnormal development of social brain circuitry in autism
Abnormal face processing ability is a functional neural trait marker for autism.
Anatomical Differences in the Mirror Neuron System and Social Cognition Network in Autism
Social and emotional deficits seen in autism are associated with thinning of the mirror neuron system.
ARCHIVES:
The amygdala is enlarged in children but not adolescents with autism; the hippocampus is enlarged at all ages
The amygdala and hippocampus was found to be enlarged in autistic disorder, which has important implications for behavior and cognition in children.
Localization of White
Matter Volume Increase in Autism and Developmental Language Disorder
This study discusses the changes in white
matter of the developing brain in autism.
Investigation of
Neuroanatomical Differences Between Autism and Asperger Syndrome
A brain imaging study shows that Asperger
syndrome is on the mild side of the autism spectrum, distinct from high-functioning
autism in brain development.
fMRI Study
of Recognition of Facial Expressions in High-Functioning Autistic Patients
A brain imaging study showed children with
autism have widely distributed impairments in brain circuits that process
emotion from faces.
Evidence of Brain
Overgrowth in the First Year of Life in Autism
Before doctors see first clinical signs of
autism, there are two phases of abnormal brain growth in austistic children.
