Hippocampus in autism: a Golgi analysis

Raymond, G. V., Bauman, Margaret L., Kemper, Thomas L.·1995·Acta Neuropathologica

Abstract

Autism is a behaviorally defined syndrome in which neuropathological abnormalities have been identified in the limbic system and cerebellum. The morphology of hippocampal neurons in two cases of infantile autism was studied and compared to age-matched controls. CA4 neurons in autistic children were smaller in perikaryon area and dendritic branching of both CA4 and CA1 neurons was less than in controls. These findings are consistent with previous studies and suggest a curtailment in maturation in the pathogenesis of autism.

  • Reduced growth of neuronal cell size and dendritic arbors in ASD postmortem cases have long been reported and are now recognized as an important neuropathological attribute of ASD cortex; neuron size reduction varies from −4% in occipital to −18% in prefrontal cortex.

    “Reduced growth of neuronal cell size and dendritic arbors in ASD postmortem cases have long been reported [25, 52] and are now recognized as an important neuropathological attribute of ASD cortex [46]; neuron size reduction varies from −4% in occipital to −18% in prefrontal cortex [24, 40, 53].”
  • ASD hippocampal neurons show reduced dendritic branching compared with controls, and the PFC shows fewer dendrites as detected by microtubule-associated protein 2 immunoreactivity.

    “Neurons show reduced dendritic branching in the hippocampus of ASD subjects compared to controls [296] and fewer dendrites as detected by microtubule-associated protein 2 immunoreactivity in the PFC [248].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
