The Role of Emotion Regulation in Autism Spectrum Disorder RH: Emotion Regulation in ASD (2013, positive): “These data call for a more sophisticated model of PFC/amygdala connectivity that moves beyond a strictly inhibitory relation—one that also considers findings of abnormal white matter development in ASD.(69,70) The numerous reports of abnormal medial PFC activity in ASD are consistent with data on PF”
Diffusion tensor imaging of the corpus callosum in Autism (2007, neutral): “To date, the only published study examining DTI in autistic children showed lower FA values in the genu and rostral body in seven high-functioning autistic male children and adolescents compared to controls (Barnea-Goraly et al., 2004).”
Abnormalities of Intrinsic Functional Connectivity in Autism Spectrum Disorders (2009, neutral): “To date, multiple DTI studies have reported white matter alterations in participants with ASD (Barnea-Goraly et al., 2004; Alexander et al., 2007; Ben Bashat et al., 2007; Keller, Kana and Just, 2007; Lee et al., 2007; Sundaram et al., 2008; Thakkar et al., 2008).”
Why the frontal cortex in autism might be talking only to itself: local over-connectivity but long-distance disconnection. (2005, background): “A recent DTI study reported abnormally reduced fractional anisotropy in white matter adjacent to dorsal and mesial prefrontal cortices in older autistic children [24 ].”
The Weak Coherence Account: Detail-focused Cognitive Style in Autism Spectrum Disorders (2006, background): “Chung, Dalton, Alexander, & Davidson, 2004), and disrupted white matter tracts (Barnea-Goraly et al., 2004), which might result from excessive brain growth at key periods (Courchesne, 2004), or, more speculatively, disruptions to developmental trajectories of serotonin synthesis (Chugani et al.”
Accelerated maturation of white matter in young children with autism: A high b value DWI study (2007, background): “Barnea-Goraly et al. (2004) reported reductions in FA in high functioning adolescents with autism, ages 11–18 years, in brain regions related to social cognition such as the ventromedial prefrontal cortices, the anterior cingulate gyri and the temporoparietal junction.”
Mapping early brain development in autism. (2007, neutral): “A DTI study of autistic adolescents reported white matter abnormality underlying dorsal and medial prefrontal cortices, superior temporal cortex, temporoparietal junction, and the corpus callosum (Barnea-Goraly et al., 2004).”
