The second iteration of the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange (ABIDE II) aims to enhance scope brain connectomics research in Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Consistent with initial ABIDE effort I), that released 1112 datasets 2012, this new multisite open-data resource is an aggregate resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and corresponding structural MRI phenotypic datasets. II includes from additional 487 individuals ASD 557 controls previously collected across 16...
Findings regarding phenotypic differences between boys and girls with ASD are mixed. We compared autism internalizing symptoms in a sample of 8-18 year-old (n = 20) typically developing (TYP) 19) 17). Girls were more impaired than TYP but did not differ from symptoms. In adolescence, had higher girls, depression girls. ages resemble appear to be at increased risk for affective the teen years.
The current study investigated the relationships between internalizing and externalizing (I-E) behaviors family variables, including both parenting stress quality of attachment relations, in children aged 8-12 with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or typical development. Compared to group development, ASD exhibited significantly greater levels psychopathology as assessed by Child Behavior Checklist [Achenbach, 1991], parents higher Parenting Stress Index [Abidin, 1995]. In a...
IMPORTANCE-Recent data suggest that treatment with antipsychotics is associated reductions in cortical gray matter patients schizophrenia.These findings have led to concerns about the effect of antipsychotic on brain structure and function; however, no studies date measured function directly individuals schizophrenia shown antipsychotic-related matter.OBJECTIVE-To examine effects first-episode schizophrenia, using thickness measurements administration AX version Continuous Performance Task...
Cognitive control deficits have been consistently documented in patients with schizophrenia. Recent work cognitive neuroscience has hypothesized a distinction between two theoretically separable modes of control—reactive and proactive. However, it remains unclear the extent to which these processes are uniquely associated dysfunctional neural recruitment individuals This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study utilized color word Stroop task AX Continuous Performance Task (AX-CPT)...
Researchers have argued that individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) use an effortful "systematizing" process to recognize emotion expressions, whereas typically developing (TD) a more holistic process. If this is the case, ASDs should show slower and less efficient recognition, particularly for socially complex emotions. We tested account by assessing speed accuracy of recognition while limiting exposure time response window. Children adolescents showed quick accurate most...
Objective: Despite schizophrenia patients' reports of diminished experience emotion in interviews and self-report measures, their emotional the presence stimuli daily life ("in moment") appears largely intact. To examine emotion-cognition interactions, authors tested hypothesis that patients have unimpaired in-the-moment reactivity but a deficit prefrontal cortical mechanisms needed to maintain report on following exposure stimuli. Method: Using slow event-related functional MRI paradigm,...
There has been intensified interest in the neuropeptides oxytocin (OT) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) autism spectrum disorders (ASD) given their role affiliative social behavior animals, positive results of treatment studies using OT, findings that genetic polymorphisms AVP-OT pathway are present individuals with ASD. Nearly all such humans have focused only on males. With this preliminary study, we provide basic novel information involvement OT AVP autism, an investigation blood plasma...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) involves widespread difficulties in social interaction, communication, and behavioral flexibility. Consequently, individuals with ASD are believed to exhibit a number of unique personality tendencies, including lack insight into those tendencies. However, surprisingly little research has examined these issues. Study 1 compared self-reports Big Five traits adults (n = 37) typically developing (TD) 42). 2 whether any observed differences replicated...
Oxytocin (OT) is a neuropeptide involved in mammalian social behavior. It currently clinical trials for the treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Previous studies healthy rodents (prairie voles and C57BL/6J mice) have shown that there may be detrimental effects long-term intranasal administration, raising questions about safety efficacy. To investigate OT on aspects ASD phenotype, we conducted first study chronic well-validated mouse model autism, BTBR T+ Itpr3tf/J inbred strain...
Objective: To evaluate how distinct presentations of anxiety symptoms and intellectual impairment influence the measurement estimated rate clinically significant in autism spectrum disorder (ASD).Method: The sample included 75 children (ages 9–13 years) with ASD varied IQ 52 typically developing (TD) controls parents. Parents completed symptom scales a diagnostic interview, designed to (1) differentiate (2) examine DSM-specified unspecified ("distinct") each child, including fears change,...
