Autistic-spectrum disorders: lessons from neuroimaging.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autistic-spectrum disorder is approximately half as common as schizophrenia but its cause remains unknown. Recent studies have begun to clarify the underlying neuroanatomical abnormalities and brain-behaviour relationships in autism. In the past decade, great advances have been made in our understanding of the neurobiological basis of autism.

The investigation of neural substrates of autism spectrum disorder using neuroimaging has been the focus of recent literature. In addition, machine-learning approaches have also been used to extract relevant information from neuroimaging data. There are only few studies directly exploring the inter-regional structural relationships to identify and characterize neuropsychiatric disorders. In thi...
متن کاملAutism Spectrum Disorders: An Intervention Approach Based on Genomic Analysis
Clinical results of neuroimaging, pathological and neurochemical studies have shown that autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are diseases of neuronal-cortical organization that cause deficits in information processing in the nervous system, from the synaptic and dendritic organization to connectivity and brain structure. These changes probably alter the development of social and communication path ...
متن کاملA review of neuropsychological and neuroimaging research in autistic spectrum disorders: Attention, inhibition and cognitive flexibility
Autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) are devastating neurodevelopmental disorders of unknown aetiology with characteristic deficits in social interaction, communication and behaviour. Individuals with ASD show deficits in executive function (EF), which are hypothesised to underlie core repetitive, stereotyped behaviours of autism. Neuroimaging research has identified structural brain abnormalities...
متن کاملNeurobilogy of Asperger's Syndrome : a Case Study and Overview
Asperger's syndrome is an autistic spectrum disorder, which has engendered lesser attention in comparison to autism. Recent literature has focused on the involvement of cortical areas of the brain in this syndrome. We report a case of Asperger's syndrome in which an extensive work-up, including neuropsychological, neurophysiological and neuroimaging procedures, were undertaken. The findings of ...
