TL;DR: W Whole-brain analyses reconciled seemingly disparate themes of both hypo- and hyperconnectivity in the ASD literature; both were detected, although hypoconnectivity dominated, particularly for corticocortical and interhemispheric functional connectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding emotions in others: mirror neuron dysfunction in children with autism spectrum disorders
Mirella Dapretto,Mari S Davies,Jennifer H. Pfeifer,Ashley Scott,Marian Sigman,Susan Y. Bookheimer,Susan Y. Bookheimer,Marco Iacoboni,Marco Iacoboni +8 more
TL;DR: High-functioning children with autism and matched controls underwent fMRI while imitating and observing emotional expressions, suggesting that a dysfunctional 'mirror neuron system' may underlie the social deficits observed in autism.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mirror neuron system and the consequences of its dysfunction
Marco Iacoboni,Mirella Dapretto +1 more
TL;DR: The neurophysiology of the mirror neuron system and its role in social cognition is reviewed and the clinical implications of mirror neuron dysfunction are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Form and Content: Dissociating Syntax and Semantics in Sentence Comprehension
TL;DR: The findings strongly indicate that a part of Broca's area is critically implicated in processing syntactic information, whereas the lower portion of the left inferior frontal gyrus is selectively involved in processing the semantic aspects of a sentence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural correlates of social exclusion during adolescence: understanding the distress of peer rejection
Carrie L. Masten,Naomi I. Eisenberger,Larissa A. Borofsky,Jennifer H. Pfeifer,Kristin McNealy,John C. Mazziotta,Mirella Dapretto +6 more
TL;DR: Findings unique to adolescents indicated that activity in the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (subACC) related to greater distress, and thatActivity in the ventral striatum related to less distress and appeared to play a role in regulating activity inThe subACC and other regions involved in emotional distress.
