Autistic traits are associated with diminished neural response to affective touch
Open accessAbstract
'Social brain' circuitry has recently been implicated in processing slow, gentle touch targeting a class of slow-conducting, unmyelinated nerves, CT afferents, which are present only in the hairy skin of mammals. Given the importance of such 'affective touch' in social relationships, the current functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study aimed to replicate the finding of 'social brain' involvement in processing CT-targeted touch and to examine the relationship between the neural response and individuals' social abilities. During an fMRI scan, 19 healthy adults received alternating blocks of slow (CT-optimal) and fast (non-optimal) brushing to the forearm. Relative to fast touch, the slow touch activated contralateral insula, superior temporal sulcus (STS), medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and amygdala. Connectivity analyses revealed co-activation of the mPFC, insula and amygdala during slow touch. Additionally, participants' autistic traits negatively correlated with the response to slow touch in the OFC and STS. The current study replicates and extends findings of the involvement of a network of 'social brain' regions in processing CT-targeted affective touch, emphasizing the multimodal nature of this system. Variability in the brain response to such touch illustrates a tight coupling of social behavior and social brain function in typical adults.

The observed pattern of results has been interpreted as indicating an oxytocin-induced self-referential processing bias that could explain the increased pleasantness in an already pleasant context and a diminished effect for participants with high autistic-like traits who experience social touch as less pleasant.
“Thus, the observed pattern of results has been interpreted as indicating an OXTinduced self-referential processing bias that could explain the increased pleasantness in an already pleasant context and a diminished effect for participants with high autistic-like traits who experience social touch as less pleasant (115).”

Healthy subjects with autistic traits exhibit diminished responses in the neural substrates for social touch, particularly in the orbitofrontal cortex.
“Likewise, healthy subjects with autistic traits exhibit diminished responses in the neural substrates for social touch, particularly in the OFC (Voos et al, 2013).”

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.
