Knowledge of the temporal structure of events in relation to autistic traits and social ability

Acta Psychologica, 2022
Event knowledge, a person's understanding of patterns of activities in the world, is crucial for everyday social interactions. Social communication differences are prominent in autism, which may be related to atypical event knowledge, such as atypical ...

Age‐Dependent Effects of Loss of Contactin‐Associated Protein‐Like 2, an Autism‐Associated Gene, on the Acquisition and Recall of Fear Memory

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The contactin‐associated protein‐like 2 (Cntnap2) gene is relevant to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which is associated with age‐specific structural alterations in limbic brain regions. The Cntnap2 gene encodes for the contactin‐associated protein‐like 2 (CASPR2) protein, and CASPR2 protein levels are high in the amygdala, a limbic region ...

The next 10 years of behavioural genomic research

JCPP Advances, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
Three transformative developments for behavioural genomic research in the next 10 years are described. First, behavioural genomic research will use dimensional measures to reveal the hierarchical genetic architecture of psychopathology. A second direction for behavioural genomic research will be to investigate causa models of GE interplay.

Reduced interhemispheric functional connectivity of children with autism: evidence from functional near infrared spectroscopy studies [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
Autism spectrum disorder is a neuro-developmental disorder characterized by abnormalities of neural synchronization. In this study, functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is used to study the difference in functional connectivity in left and right inferior frontal cortices (IFC) and temporal cortices (TC) between autistic and typically ...

Theory of Mind Mediates the Association Between Autistic Traits and Social Isolation in Middle‐Aged and Older Adults

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social isolation has detrimental effects on wellbeing. While isolation can occur at any age, its prevalence has been found to increase in older adulthood. Populations with social functioning differences, such as autistic people, have also been found to be at particular risk of isolation across the lifespan, including in older age.

Mapping gene by early life stress interactions on child subcortical brain structures: A genome‐wide prospective study

JCPP Advances, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
Although it is well‐established that both genetics and the environment influence brain development, they are typically examined separately. This study lends novel insights into gene‐environment interplay on the developing brain as well as pointing to promising candidate loci for future mechanistic studies.

Linguistic and Musical Syntax Processing in Autistic and Non‐Autistic Individuals: An Event‐Related Potential (ERP) Study

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Syntactic processing in both language and music involves combining elements—such as words or chords—into coherent structures. The Shared Syntactic Integration Resource Hypothesis (SSIRH) was introduced based on observations of similar neural responses to syntactic violations across both domains.

Multisensory Integration of Naturalistic Speech and Gestures in Autistic Adults

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seeing the speaker often facilitates auditory speech comprehension through audio‐visual integration. This audio‐visual facilitation is stronger under challenging listening conditions, such as in real‐life social environments. Autism has been associated with atypicalities in integrating audio‐visual information, potentially underlying social ...

Intact Susceptibility to Visual Illusions in Autistic Individuals

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Altered sensory perception, a core characteristic of autism, has been attributed to attenuated use of stimuli context or prior information in perception. Reduced susceptibility to perceptual illusions was extensively used to support these accounts for autistic perception. However, empirical evidence has been inconsistent.

Gaze-based Autism Detection for Adolescents and Young Adults using Prosaic Videos [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Autism often remains undiagnosed in adolescents and adults. Prior research has indicated that an autistic individual often shows atypical fixation and gaze patterns. In this short paper, we demonstrate that by monitoring a user's gaze as they watch commonplace (i.e., not specialized, structured or coded) video, we can identify individuals with autism ...
