Proverb comprehension in individuals with agenesis of the corpus callosum

Autism traits in individuals with agenesis of the corpus callosum.

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have numerous etiologies, including structural brain malformations such as agenesis of the corpus callosum (AgCC). We sought to directly measure the occurrence of autism traits in a cohort of individuals with AgCC and to investigate the neural underpinnings of this association. We screened a large AgCC cohort (n = 106) with the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) and f...

Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum

COMPLETE or partial agenesis of the corpus callosum is uncommon especially in adults; the incidence amongst patients in institutions where numerous air encephalograms are performed is 3% (Carpenter and Drukemiller, 1953). Reil (1812) published the first report of a case, describing the necropsy findings in a 30 year old woman of low mentality; further cases discovered at necropsy were subsequen...
