Brain growth rate abnormalities visualized in adolescents with autism.
Autism spectrum disorder is a heterogeneous disorder of brain development with wide ranging cognitive deficits. Typically diagnosed before age 3, autism spectrum disorder is behaviorally defined but patients are thought to have protracted alterations in brain maturation. With longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we mapped an anomalous developmental trajectory of the brains of autistic...
متن کاملWhite Matter Abnormalities in Boys with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Preliminary evidence from Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Introduction Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by qualitative impairments of reciprocal social interaction and deficits in communication, and stereotyped or repetitive pattern of behavior. ADS inclued autism, pervasive developmental not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) and Asperger syndrome. The neurobiological pathogenesis of ASD is still unknown and unclear, but several neuroimag...
متن کاملBRAIN MAPPING IN NEUROSURGERY
Background and Aim: Brain mapping is a study of the anatomy and function of the CNS (central nervous system). Brain mapping has many techniques and these techniques are permanently changing and updating. From the beginning, brain mapping was invasive and for brain mapping, electrical stimulation of the exposed brain was needed. However, nowadays brain mapping does not require electrical stimula...
متن کاملMapping Early Brain Development in Autism
Although the neurobiology of autism has been studied for more than two decades, the majority of these studies have examined brain structure 10, 20, or more years after the onset of clinical symptoms. The pathological biology that causes autism remains unknown, but its signature is likely to be most evident during the first years of life when clinical symptoms are emerging. This review highlight...
متن کاملDetection and mapping of hippocampal abnormalities in autism.
Brain imaging studies of the hippocampus in autism have yielded inconsistent results. In this study, a computational mapping strategy was used to examine the three-dimensional profile of hippocampal abnormalities in autism. Twenty-one males with autism (age: 9.5+/-3.3 years) and 24 male controls (age: 10.3+/-2.4 years) underwent a volumetric magnetic resonance imaging scan at 3 Tesla. The hippo...
