During evolution, the cerebral cortex advances by increasing in surface and the introduction
of new cytoarchitectonic areas among which the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is considered to be …

Post-mortem studies allow for the direct investigation of brain tissue in those with autism and
related disorders. Several review articles have focused on aspects of post-mortem …

The classical theory of cortical systematic variation has been independently described in
reptiles, monotremes, marsupials and placental mammals, including primates, suggesting a …

The most prominent transient compartment of the primate fetal cortex is the deep, cell-

ABSTRACT Stereotyped movements (“stereotypies”) are semi-voluntary repetitive
movements that are a prominent clinical feature of autism spectrum disorder. They are …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has proven to be highly enigmatic due to the diversity of its
underlying genetic causes and the huge variability in symptom presentation. Uncovering …

Autism is a neurodevelopmental connectivity disorder characterized by cortical network
disorganization and imbalance in excitation/inhibition. However, little is known about the …

While atypical sensory perception is reported among individuals with autism spectrum
disorder (ASD), the underlying neural mechanisms of autism that give rise to disruptions in …

Background The human orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is involved in assessing the emotional
significance of events and stimuli, emotion-based learning, allocation of attentional …

Hypotheses and theoretical frameworks are needed to organize and interpret the wealth of
