Background Amygdala dysfunction is hypothesized to underlie the social deficits observed
in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, the neurobiological basis of this hypothesis is …

Background The amygdala-prefrontal cortex circuit is involved in processing socio-
emotional cues and may partially mediate social impairment in autism spectrum disorder …

The amygdala is a complex structure with distinct subregions and dissociable functional
networks. The laterobasal subregion of the amygdala is hypothesized to mediate the …

The human brain undergoes dramatic changes in amygdala-related functional connectivity
network during adolescence. Given that the amygdala is a vital component of the “social …

Altered amygdala development is implicated in the neurobiology of autism, but little is known
about the coordinated development of the brain regions directly connected with the …

Objective Converging evidence indicates that brain abnormalities in autism spectrum
disorders (ASDs) involve atypical network connectivity. Given the central role of social …

The human amygdala has long been implicated to play a key role in autism spectrum
disorder (ASD). Yet it remains unclear to what extent the amygdala accounts for the social …

Anxiety disorders are common in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and associated with social–
communication impairment and repetitive behavior symptoms. The neurobiology of anxiety …

Amygdala dysfunction plays a role in the social impairments in autism spectrum disorders
(ASD), but it is unclear which of its subregions are abnormal in ASD. This study compared …

Objective The objective of this study was to determine whether functional connectivity of the
amygdala is altered in preschool-age children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and to …
