Variation in the human cannabinoid receptor CNR1 gene modulates gaze duration for happy facesBhismadev Chakrabarti
Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics, School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences, University of Reading, Whiteknights, Reading RG6 6AL, UK
Mol Autism 2:10. 2011..abstract:..
Genes related to sex steroids, neural growth, and social-emotional behavior are associated with autistic traits, empathy, and Asperger syndromeB Chakrabarti
Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, Cambridge University, UK
Autism Res 2:157-77. 2009..05). This is the first candidate-gene association study of AS and of autistic traits. The most promising candidate genes require independent replication and fine mapping...
Individual differences in brain structure underpin empathizing-systemizing cognitive styles in male adultsMeng Chuan Lai
Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge Douglas House, 18B, Trumpington Road, Cambridge CB2 8AH, UK
Neuroimage 61:1347-54. 2012..These results suggest an underlying neuroanatomical basis linked to the discrepancy between these two important dimensions of individual differences in cognitive style...
Specialization of right temporo-parietal junction for mentalizing and its relation to social impairments in autismMichael V Lombardo

Neuroimage 56:1832-8. 2011....
A shift to randomness of brain oscillations in people with autismMeng Chuan Lai
Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom

A behavioral comparison of male and female adults with high functioning autism spectrum conditionsMeng Chuan Lai
Department of Psychiatry, Autism Research Centre, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom
PLoS ONE 6:e20835. 2011..We discuss the importance of the superficially better socio-communication ability in adult females with ASC in terms of why females with ASC may more often go under-recognized, and receive their diagnosis later, than males...
Fetal programming effects of testosterone on the reward system and behavioral approach tendencies in humansMichael V Lombardo
Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom
Biol Psychiatry 72:839-47. 2012....
Fetal testosterone influences sexually dimorphic gray matter in the human brainMichael V Lombardo
Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 8AH, UK
J Neurosci 32:674-80. 2012..These results bridge a long-standing gap between human and nonhuman species by showing that FT acts as an organizing mechanism for the development of regional sexual dimorphism in the human brain...
Cognition in males and females with autism: similarities and differencesMeng Chuan Lai
Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom
PLoS ONE 7:e47198. 2012..However, in specific non-social cognitive domains, performance within ASC depends on sex. This suggests that in specific domains, cognitive profiles in ASC are modulated by sex...
Empathizing with basic emotions: common and discrete neural substratesBhismadev Chakrabarti
Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, UK
Soc Neurosci 1:364-84. 2006..This pattern of results is interpreted using a modification of Haxby et al.'s model of face perception...
How reward modulates mimicry: EMG evidence of greater facial mimicry of more rewarding happy facesThomas B Sims
Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics, School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences, University of Reading, Whiteknights, Reading, UK
Psychophysiology 49:998-1004. 2012..This suggests a link between reward and spontaneous mimicry and provides a possible underlying mechanism for the reduced response to social rewards seen in autism...
Atypical neural self-representation in autismMichael V Lombardo
Autism Research Centre, Douglas House, Cambridge CB2 8AH, UK
Brain 133:611-24. 2010..These observations reveal that the atypical organization of neural circuitry preferentially coding for self-information is a key mechanism at the heart of both self-referential and social impairments in autism...
Why are autism spectrum conditions more prevalent in males?Simon Baron-Cohen
Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom
PLoS Biol 9:e1001081. 2011..Ultimately, as these theories are not mutually exclusive and ASC is multi-factorial, they may help explain the male prevalence of ASC...
Organizational effects of fetal testosterone on human corpus callosum size and asymmetryLindsay R Chura
Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
Psychoneuroendocrinology 35:122-32. 2010..We suggest that this possible organizational effect of FT on callosal asymmetry may also play a role in shaping sexual dimorphism in functional and structural brain development, cognition, and behavior...
Self-referential and social cognition in a case of autism and agenesis of the corpus callosumMichael V Lombardo
Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Douglas House, 18b Trumpington Road, Cambridge CB2 8AH, UK
Mol Autism 3:14. 2012..abstract:..
Variation in the autism candidate gene GABRB3 modulates tactile sensitivity in typically developing childrenTeresa Tavassoli
Department of Psychiatry, Autism Research Centre, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
Mol Autism 3:6. 2012..abstract:..
Talent in autism: hyper-systemizing, hyper-attention to detail and sensory hypersensitivitySimon Baron-Cohen
Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Douglas House, 18b Trumpington Road, Cambridge CB2 8AH, UK
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 364:1377-83. 2009..We conclude that the origins of the association between autism and talent begin at the sensory level, include excellent attention to detail and end with hyper-systemizing...
Increased serum androstenedione in adults with autism spectrum conditionsLiliana Ruta
Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, Cambridge University, Cambridge, UK
Psychoneuroendocrinology 36:1154-63. 2011..02). This result is discussed in terms of androstenedione being the immediate precursor of, and being converted into, testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, or estrogens in hormone-sensitive tissues and organs...
