Neuroimages in Autism
Fig. 6.1 Synthesis of findings from existing studies of cortical thickness differences between children and adolescents with ASD and TD, integrated using a sulco-gyral-based parcellation. The red and blue ROIs…
Epidemiology of Autism Spectrum Disorders
Fig. 2.1 Assuming a true ASD prevalence of 150/10,000 and a sensitivity of 100% for the screening process and total accuracy in the diagnostic confirmation, weighting back phase 2 data…
Understanding on Neuroimmunology in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Fig. 9.1 Functional plasticity of T cells and associated genetic factors may mediate autoimmunity in autism. Naïve CD4+ T cells become differentiated into four different effector cell subtypes, which show…

Neuroinflammation in Animal Models of Autism
Fig. 8.1 Hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis response to peripheral LPS in mice prenatally exposed to VPA. Animals prenatally exposed to VPA show a normal HPA response postnatally, but an exacerbated response…
The Genetic Basis of Autism Spectrum Disorder
Fig. 3.1 Definitions for key terms and concepts Family studies suggest that the risk of recurrence among siblings is between 2 and 6 %, which represents a 20–75 times greater prevalence…
Autism Spectrum Disorder. A Clinical Neurophysiology Approach I
Fig. 4.1 Polysomnography study in a 4-year-old patient with ASD without epileptic seizures. Recordings involve complete electroencephalogram (EEG), chin electromyography, eye movements and electrocardiogram. Note EEG epileptiform abnormality in channels…
