Autism, Emotional Processing, and the Amygdala

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Empathy imbalance hypothesis suggests that individuals with autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) should have a deficit of cognitive empathy and a surfeit of emotional empathy. Considering that inconsistent amygdala reactivity to emotional faces might be ascribed to aberrant attention in ASD, the investigators hypothesized to investigate if there would be an imbalance between conscious and nonconscious emotional processing. This fMRI study recruited 26 youths and young adults with autism spectrum disorder and 25 matched controls, and measured their amygdala reactivity and functional connectivity in response to conscious and nonconscious (backward masked) perception of threatening faces. Keywords: Autism Spectrum Disorder; amygdala reactivity; emotional processing; fMRI

Somatic Diseases in Autistic Children

Autistic Spectrum DisorderSomatic Disorders

For many reasons, medical monitoring in autistic patients is very difficult. This study is designed to determine the prevalence of comorbid diseases (neurological, cardiac, digestive, dental diseases…) in patients suffering from ASD to prevent them or diagnose them earlier.

Somatic Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Data Integration

Autism Spectrum DisorderSomatic Symptom Disorder

Autistic patients have higher chances commorbid somatic symptoms. Therefore, it leads to more health-related concerns, such as autoimmune disease, gastrointestinal disease, cardiovascular disease, autonomic disorders. On average, autistic patient's life span is 16 years shorter than non-autistic patients. Furthermore, autistic patients are not able to convey or communicate their somatic symptoms in a clear and comprehensive manner. This leads to unable to receive proper health care in a timely manner.

Mycobiome Evaluation in Children With Autism & GI Symptoms

AutismGastrointenstinal Symptoms

This study's primary aim is to explore the potential differences in the gut mycobiome of children with autism spectrum disorder compared to otherwise healthy children. The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate whether the presence of specific species of fungi (e.g. Candida tropicalis, C. albicans, or Saccharomyces cerevisiae), in stool: 1) correlates with increased gastrointestinal symptoms; 2) correlates with evidence of increased behavioral problems (as assessed by the Aberrant Behavior Checklist or Social Responsiveness Scale-2); or 3) plays the same role as a constituent of commensal gut microflora as in normal controls. The scale indicates severity of social deficits in the autism spectrum as mild, moderate or severe. Additionally, the study aims to compare the fecal and oral fungi in these children because many fecal mycobiota are felt to originate in the oropharynx.
