Abnormal Frontal and Temporal Lobe Asymmetries in Autism

Abstract

Regional cortical volume asymmetry patterns, particularly those associated with language function, in 16 boys with autism (aged 7-11 years) were compared with measures in 15 normal, age- and handedness-matched controls, in an MRI study at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, and other centers.
