| Research Abstract |
Much evidence indicates that patients with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) demonstrate marked social dysfunction. However,the etiology is still unknown. We have studied social dysfunctions in youth with high-functioning ASD compared with typically developing participants using voxel-based morphometry and functional MRI. These aberrant neuroimaging findings could be social brain marker in ASD. Next, I reported oxytocin effect to a patient with ASD
