Journal ArticleDOI
Autism and abnormal development of brain connectivity
Matthew K. Belmonte,Greg Allen,Andrea Beckel-Mitchener,Lisa M. Boulanger,Ruth A. Carper,Sara Jane Webb +5 more
TL;DR: It has been said that people with autism suffer from a lack of “central coherence,” the cognitive ability to bind together a jumble of separate features into a single, coherent object or concept.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding the nature of face processing impairment in autism: insights from behavioral and electrophysiological studies.
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that individuals with autism have impaired face discrimination and recognition and use atypical strategies for processing faces characterized by reduced attention to the eyes and piecemeal rather than configural strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consensus Paper: Pathological Role of the Cerebellum in Autism
S. Hossein Fatemi,Kimberly A. Aldinger,Paul Ashwood,Margaret L. Bauman,Charles D. Blaha,Gene J. Blatt,Abha Chauhan,Ved Chauhan,Stephen R. Dager,Price E. Dickson,Annette Estes,Dan Goldowitz,Detlef H. Heck,Thomas L. Kemper,Bryan H. King,Loren A. Martin,Kathleen J. Millen,Guy Mittleman,Matthew W. Mosconi,Antonio M. Persico,John A. Sweeney,Sara Jane Webb,John P. Welsh +22 more
TL;DR: The diversity of opinions regarding the involvement of this important site in the pathology of autism will be observed, and points of consensus include presence of abnormal cerebellar anatomy, abnormal neurotransmitter systems, oxidative stress, Cerebellar motor and cognitive deficits, and neuroinflammation in subjects with autism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early behavioral intervention is associated with normalized brain activity in young children with autism
Geraldine Dawson,Emily J.H. Jones,Kristen Merkle,Kaitlin Venema,Rachel Lowy,Susan Faja,Dana Kamara,Michael Andrew Murias,Jessica Greenson,Jamie Winter,Milani Smith,Sally J. Rogers,Sara Jane Webb +12 more
TL;DR: This was the first trial to demonstrate that early behavioral intervention is associated with normalized patterns of brain activity, which was associated with improvements in social behavior, in young children with autism spectrum disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resting state cortical connectivity reflected in EEG coherence in individuals with autism
TL;DR: Robust patterns of over- and under-connectivity are apparent at distinct spatial and temporal scales in ASD subjects in the eyes closed resting state.
