Athinoula A Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, MA, USA
Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci 4:70-8. 2009..Our data suggest that emotion perception deficits in ASD may be due to compromised processing of the emotional component of observed actions... - Anatomical differences in the mirror neuron system and social cognition network in autismNouchine Hadjikhani
Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, MA 02129, USA
