Overview

Neuroimaging is not used in the diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome (AS). However, several of studies have found abnormalities in neuroimages of AS patients.

Neuroimaging

  • Neuroimaging.is not used in the diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome (AS).
  • However, several of studies have found abnormalities in neuroimages of AS patients which include:
    • Abnormal activation in the inferior temporal sulcus.[1][2] 
    • Abnormal dysactivation of the frontal lobe while performing neuropsychological tests.[3][4][5][6]
    • Abnormal functional integration of the amygdala and parahippocampal gyrus.[7] 
    • Abnormal structures in the inferior temporal gyrus, entorhinal cortex and rostral fusiform gyrus.[8]  
    • Missing tissue area in each hemisphere at the part where the middle frontal gyrus and the precentral sulcus intersect.[9]
    • Lesion in the right middle temporal gyrus white matter.[10]
    • Megalencephaly/ extreme male brain’ phenotype. [6]
