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).”

Early behavioral intervention, brain plasticity, and the prevention of autism spectrum disorder (2008, background): “Individuals with ASD exhibit irregular and inconsistent patterns of fusiform gyrus activation; some studies have found that areas involved in object processing are activated instead (Pierce, Muller, Ambrose, Allen, & Courchesne, 2001; Schultz et al., 2000).”
