Gaze fixation and the neural circuitry of face processing in autismKim M Dalton
Waisman Center, University of Wisconsin, 1500 Highland Avenue, Madison, Wisconsin 53705 2280, USA
Nat Neurosci 8:519-26. 2005..In addition, variation in eye fixation within autistic individuals was strongly and positively associated with amygdala activation across both studies, suggesting a heightened emotional response associated with gaze fixation in autism...
Prefrontal social cognition network dysfunction underlying face encoding and social anxiety in fragile X syndromeLaura M Holsen
Waisman Center, University of Wisconsin, USA
Neuroimage 43:592-604. 2008..These data indicate that social anxiety in FXS may be related to the inability to successfully recruit higher level social cognition regions during the initial phases of memory formation...
Gaze-fixation, brain activation, and amygdala volume in unaffected siblings of individuals with autismKim M Dalton
Waisman Center, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin, USA
Biol Psychiatry 61:512-20. 2007..These characteristics primarily affect the social aspects of language, communication, and human interaction. The current research focuses on possible neurobehavioral characteristics associated with the broad autism phenotype...
Brain function and gaze fixation during facial-emotion processing in fragile X and autismKim M Dalton

Amygdala volume and nonverbal social impairment in adolescent and adult males with autismBrendon M Nacewicz
Waisman Laboratory for Brain Imaging and Behavior, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Waisman Center, 1500 Highland Avenue, Madison, WI 53705, USA
Arch Gen Psychiatry 63:1417-28. 2006..047). CONCLUSIONS: These findings best support a model of amygdala hyperactivity that could explain most volumetric findings in autism. Further psychophysiological and histopathological studies are indicated to confirm these findings...
General multivariate linear modeling of surface shapes using SurfStatMoo K Chung
Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53705, USA

Department of Statistics, University of Wisconsin, 1210 West Dayton Street, Madison, WI 53706, USA
Neuroimage 25:1256-65. 2005..As an illustration, we apply our methods in detecting the regions of abnormal cortical thickness in 16 high functioning autistic children via random field based multiple comparison correction that utilizes the new smoothing technique...
Weighted fourier series representation and its application to quantifying the amount of gray matterMoo K Chung
Department of Statistics, Biostatistics, and Medical Informatics, and the Waisman Laboratory for Brain Imaging and Behavior, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA
IEEE Trans Med Imaging 26:566-81. 2007..html. As an illustration, the WFS is applied i n quantifying the amount ofgray matter in a group of high functioning autistic subjects. Within the WFS framework, cortical thickness and gray matter density are computed and compared...
Less white matter concentration in autism: 2D voxel-based morphometryMoo K Chung
Department of Statistics, University of Wisconsin Madison, Madison, WI 53706, USA
Neuroimage 23:242-51. 2004..Further, it is shown that the less white matter concentration in the corpus callosum in autism is due to hypoplasia rather than atrophy...
Now you feel it, now you don't: frontal brain electrical asymmetry and individual differences in emotion regulationDaren C Jackson
University of Wisconsin Madison, 53706, USA
Psychol Sci 14:612-7. 2003..This relation between resting frontal activation and recovery following an aversive event supports the idea of a frontally mediated mechanism involved in one form of automatic emotion regulation...
Affective style and in vivo immune response: neurobehavioral mechanismsMelissa A Rosenkranz
Laboratory for Affective Neuroscience, Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin, 1202 W. Johnson Street, Madison, WI 53706, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 100:11148-52. 2003..These data support the hypothesis that individuals characterized by a more negative affective style mount a weaker immune response and therefore may be at greater risk for illness than those with a more positive affective style...
