Histoanatomic observations of the brain in early infantile autism

Bauman, Margaret, Kemper, Thomas L.·1985·Neurology

Abstract

Early infantile autism is a behaviorally defined syndrome that is often associated with abnormalities on neurologic examination and seizures. We report on the brain of a 29-year-old autistic man as compared with that of an age- and sex-matched normal control, using gapless sections of whole brain. Abnormalities were found in the hippocampus, subiculum, entorhinal cortex, septal nuclei, mamillary body, selected nuclei of the amygdala, neocerebellar cortex, roof nuclei of the cerebellum, and inferior olivary nucleus.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Animal studies show the MAO projects to anterior lobe, caudal vermis, flocculus, and deep cerebellar nuclei, most of which show pathological abnormalities in autism.

    “From animal studies, the MAO projects to the anterior lobe, caudal vermis and the flocculus in cerebellar cortex and to the globose, emboliform and fastigial deep cerebellar nuclei, most of which show pathological abnormalities in autism [3].”
  • Early assessments of the amygdala in ASD report decreased size and increased neuron density in the medial, central, and cortical nuclei.

    “Early assessments of the amygdala in ASD report decreased size and increased neuron density in the medial, central, and cortical nuclei [23, 191]”

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.
