Inverse correlation between frontal lobe and cerebellum sizes in children with autism
Open accessAbstract
Certain cognitive and behavioural deficits suggest that the frontal lobe functions abnormally in patients with autism, but little anatomical research is available to either verify or refute this. In contrast, several neuropathological and neuroimaging studies have demonstrated anatomical abnormalities in the cerebellum in autistic patients. The current study shows that frontal lobe cortex volume is increased in a subset of patients with autism and that this increase correlates with the degree of cerebellar abnormality. This evidence of concurrent structural abnormalities in both the frontal lobe and the cerebellum has important implications for understanding the development and persistence of the autistic disorder.

“The question therefore remains whether the autistic phenotype includes frontal lobe abnormalities of a1990; Hughes et al., 1994; Pennington and Ozonoff, 1996; Townsend et al., 1996), cerebral blood flow (e.g. decreased structural rather than simply a functional nature, and whether these…”

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.
