Research Abstract |
We examined whether prefrontal cortex (PFC) was activated in male adolescents during viewing the facial expressions of their mothers measured with near-infrared spectroscopy to appear the pubertal development of the neural basis of attachment in humans. Compared between normal development group and autism group, we found that the right PFC was significantly activated in normal development group, but not in autism group. In normal development group, we found that there were differences of the PFC activation among pubertal development.
