Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to conduct an NIRS study to verify mirror neuron system dysfunction in asperger disorder. The task was observation and imitation of an action. The subjects were 4 children with asperger disorder and 4 age- and gender-matched healthy subjects. For oxy-Hb, the t-test at each channel revealed a significant difference between groups, but the ANOVA revealed no significant main effect of "diagnosis", because subjects were so little. The present results may suggest that NIRS is useful for clinical scene of diagnosis the developmental disorders.
