• Neuropeptidergic regulation of affiliative behavior and social bonding in animals. (2006, background): “When viewing images of human faces, autistic patients show decreased amygdala and fusiform gyrus activation, and increased cortical activation compared to normal subjects (Critchley et al., 2000; Pierce et al., 2001; Schultz et al., 2000).”
• Functional connectivity in an fMRI working memory task in high-functioning autism (2005, background): “For example, they usually do not perform well in face recognition tasks and tend to show less activation in the fusiform face areas (e.g., Critchley et al., 2000; Pierce et al., 2001; Schultz et al., 2000).”
• Does perceived direct gaze boost detection in adults and children with and without autism? The stare-in-the-crowd effect revisited (2005, background): “, 2000; Pierce, MuÈller, Ambrose, Allen, & Courchesne, 2001) and the amygdala (Baron-Cohen et al., 1999; Critchley et al., 2000; Pierce et al., 2001) when individuals with autism processed face or eye gaze.”
• Autism and Abnormal Development of Brain Connectivity (2004, background): “, 2001) and face processing (Pierce et al., 2001) and to abnormal overgrowth in frontal lobes (Carper and Courchesne, 2000).”
• The Amygdala Is Enlarged in Children But Not Adolescents with Autism; the Hippocampus Is Enlarged at All Ages (2004, background): “Some studies have reported decreased volumes (Aylward et al., 1999; Pierce et al., 2001), whereas others have Received April 6, 2004; revised May 24, 2004; accepted May 29, 2004.”
• Mapping early brain development in autism. (2007, neutral): “Initial studies of face processing in autism revealed reduced or absent activity in the fusiform gyrus as compared to controls (Critchley et al., 2000; Pierce et al., 2001; Schultz et al., 2000).”
