Personal space regulation by the human amygdalaDaniel P Kennedy
Division of Humanities and Social Sciences, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California, USA
Nat Neurosci 12:1226-7. 2009..The amygdala may be required to trigger the strong emotional reactions normally following personal space violations, thus regulating interpersonal distance in humans...
Functional abnormalities of the default network during self- and other-reflection in autismDaniel P Kennedy
Department of Neurosciences, University of California, San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093 0662, USA
Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci 3:177-90. 2008..Overall, these results provide a more detailed view of default network functionality and abnormality in autism...
Failing to deactivate: resting functional abnormalities in autismDaniel P Kennedy
Department of Neurosciences, and Psychology, University of California at San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103:8275-80. 2006..We speculate that the lack of deactivation in the autism group is indicative of abnormal internally directed processes at rest, which may be an important contribution to the social and emotional deficits of autism...
Mapping early brain development in autismEric Courchesne
Department of Neurosciences, School of Medicine, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA
Neuron 56:399-413. 2007..As such, autism may additionally provide unique insight into genetic and developmental processes that shape early neural wiring patterns and make possible higher-order social, emotional, and communication functions...
The social brain in psychiatric and neurological disordersDaniel P Kennedy
California Institute of Technology, 1200 E California Blvd, HSS 228 77, Caltech, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA
Trends Cogn Sci 16:559-72. 2012..We suggest that the social brain, and its dysfunction and recovery, must be understood not in terms of specific structures, but rather in terms of their interaction in large-scale networks...
fMRI during natural sleep as a method to study brain function during early childhoodElizabeth Redcay
Department of Psychology, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA
Neuroimage 38:696-707. 2007..We conclude that the use of sleep fMRI may be a valuable tool for examining functional brain organization in young children...

Brain Cogn 64:124-9. 2007..Future postmortem studies with larger sample sizes will likely be critical in elucidating the spared and defective neural systems underlying the autistic phenotype...
Intact bilateral resting-state networks in the absence of the corpus callosumJ Michael Tyszka
Division of Biology, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91125, USA
J Neurosci 31:15154-62. 2011..The results argue that a normal complement of resting-state networks and intact functional coupling between the hemispheres can emerge in the absence of the corpus callosum, favoring the second over the first possibility listed above...

University of California, San Diego, USA
Dev Psychopathol 17:577-97. 2005..and providing context-based and goal-directed feedback to lower level systems...
An analysis of calendar performance in two autistic calendar savantsDaniel P Kennedy
Department of Neurosciences, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093, USA
Learn Mem 14:533-8. 2007..In view of the fact that there are only 14 possible annual calendars, we suggest that both savants worked by memorizing these 14 possible calendar arrangements...
The autistic brain: birth through adulthoodEric Courchesne
Department of Neurosciences, University of California, San Diego, California 92037, USA
Curr Opin Neurol 17:489-96. 2004..We discuss evidence of brain maldevelopment in the first years of life in autism and new neuroanatomical and functional evidence from later ages of development...
Perception of emotions from facial expressions in high-functioning adults with autismDaniel P Kennedy
Division of Humanities and Social Sciences, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, USA
Neuropsychologia 50:3313-9. 2012..We thus demonstrate a subtle but specific pattern of impairments in facial emotion perception in people with autism...
