The cognitive phenotype of autism has been correlated with an altered balance of excitation

human, and forms a large part of a neural system crucial for normal socio-emotional and …

BACKGROUND: Functional neuroimaging studies of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have
examined social and nonsocial paradigms, although rarely in the same study. Here, we …

Background Accumulating evidence suggests that gait is influenced by higher order
cognitive and cortical control mechanisms. Recently, several studies used functional near …
