Journal ArticleDOI

Brain Hyperconnectivity in Children with Autism and its Links to Social Deficits

TL;DR: Brain hyperconnectivity predicted symptom severity in ASD, such that children with greater functional connectivity exhibited more severe social deficits and was associated with higher levels of fluctuations in regional brain signals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional anatomy of cognitive development: fMRI of verbal fluency in children and adults

TL;DR: In a test of verbal fluency, children tended to activate cortex more widely than adults, but activation patterns for fluency appear to be established by middle childhood, which may reflect developmental plasticity for the ongoing organization of neural networks, which underlie language capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regional cerebral blood flow during object naming and word reading.

TL;DR: For instance, this paper used positron emission tomography (PET) to measure regional cerebral blood flow while subjects named words and pictures of objects silently or aloud, and found that participants showed similar blood flow increases in extrastriate visual cortices compared with a visual noise control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Noninvasive assessment of language dominance in children and adolescents with functional MRI A preliminary study

TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging can be used to assess language lateralization noninvasively in children and has the potential to replace current functional mapping techniques in patients, and to provide important data on brain development.
