A Key Brain Difference Linked to Autism Is Found for the First …
2024年10月15日 · Using positron emission tomography (PET) scans, researchers found that the brains of autistic adults have fewer synapses—crucial junctions where nerve cells send signals to and from each other or other types of cells—than the brains of neurotypical people.
Brain Scans and Autism: Neurological Insights - NeuroLaunch.com
2024年8月11日 · Brain Scan Findings in Autism. Brain imaging research has identified several key areas of the brain that show consistent differences in autism: 1. Amygdala and emotion processing: The amygdala, a region crucial for emotional processing and social behavior, often shows atypical structure and function in autism.
Autistic Brain vs Normal Brain | UCLA Medical School - UCLA Med …
Functional MRI has expanded the understanding of ASD because it's safe to use in children and infants and provides a window into what could be the earliest physiological changes — the brain architecture that gives rise to the well-known core deficits of low social engagement and hypersensitivity to the environment.
