Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental Changes in Mental Arithmetic: Evidence for Increased Functional Specialization in the Left Inferior Parietal Cortex
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a process of increased functional specialization of the left inferior parietal cortex in mental arithmetic, a process that is accompanied by decreased dependence on memory and attentional resources with development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociating Prefrontal and Parietal Cortex Activation during Arithmetic Processing
TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging findings indicate a dissociation in prefrontal and parietal cortex function during arithmetic processing and provide the first evidence for a specific role for the angular gyrus in arithmetic computation independent of other processing demands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cortical Folding Abnormalities in Autism Revealed by Surface-Based Morphometry
Christine Wu Nordahl,Donna L. Dierker,Iman Mostafavi,Cynthia M. Schumann,Cynthia M. Schumann,Susan M. Rivera,David G. Amaral,David C. Van Essen +7 more
TL;DR: Findings are consistent with evidence of an altered trajectory of early brain development in autism, and they identify several regions that may have abnormal patterns of connectivity in individuals with autism.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Randomized Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Minocycline in Children and Adolescents with Fragile X Syndrome
Mary Jacena Leigh,Danh V. Nguyen,Yi Mu,Tri Indah Winarni,Andrea Schneider,Tasleem Chechi,Jonathan Polussa,Paul Doucet,Flora Tassone,Susan M. Rivera,David R Hessl,Randi J Hagerman +11 more
TL;DR: Minocycline treatment for 3 months in children with FXS resulted in greater global improvement than placebo, and treatment for3 months appears safe; however, longer trials are indicated to further assess benefits, side effects, and factors associated with a clinical response to minocyCline.
Journal ArticleDOI
A functional and structural study of emotion and face processing in children with autism.
Blythe A. Corbett,Vanessa Carmean,Susan M. Ravizza,Carter Wendelken,Melissa L. Henry,Cameron S. Carter,Susan M. Rivera +6 more
TL;DR: The results showed that children with autism exhibited intact emotion matching, while showing diminished activation of the fusiform gyrus (FG) and the amygdala, consistent with abnormalities in circuits involved in emotion and face processing reported in studies of older subjects with autism.
