Motor Performance and Anatomic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the Basal Ganglia in Autism
Abstract
This study was conducted to examine the volume of the basal ganglia in individuals with autism and to evaluate whether performance on specific motor tasks correlated with the volume of these structures. Volumetric measurements of the caudate nucleus and putamen were obtained from magnetic resonance images (MRI) of 40 non—mentally retarded individuals with autism and 41 healthy controls. Motor performance was assessed in these subjects by using the Finger Tapping Test, the Grooved Pegboard Test, and the measurement of Grip Strength. No volumetric differences of the basal ganglia were found between the two groups after adjusting for brain volume. The autistic subjects' performance was slower on the Grooved Pegboard Test and weaker on Grip Strength. Our findings suggest that the motor deficits observed in autism may not be related to structural abnormalities of the basal ganglia, and other brain regions, such as the cerebellum and the frontal lobe, may be involved in the pathophysiology of motor disturbances in autism.

Disruption of pre-/supplementary motor regions may be the neural substrate for impairments in fine motor skills and imitation observed in autism.

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.
