Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Metabolic Profiles in Autism Spectrum Disorder Correlate Atypically with Nonverbal IQ and Typically with Attention Switching
Abstract:BackgroundThe neurometabolic profile of associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been reported to be abnormal by some studies showing region specific metabolite levels in ASD, while others report no group differences. The neurometabolic profile of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is of particular interest due to the DLPFC relevance to cognitive and executive function, and to ASD.MethodWe used 1H-MRS to investigate neurometabolic profiles in the DLPFC of ASD and sex/IQ-matched typically… Show more
