Purpose; We wanted to investigate how brain activation patterns of patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) differs from that of the neurotypicals (NT) in the context of perspective- taking for pain situations, and how these characteristics are related to the interoceptive accuracy of patients with ASD. Method; We presented the ASD group (N=17) and NT group (N=20) with pain-related visual situations during the fMRI scan, and ordered them 1) to imagine as if the subjects themselves were experiencing those pain situations (Self-perspective), or 2) to imagine as if a third party was experienc

The aim of this study was to investigate whether grey matter densities (GMD) in the brain associate with speech disfluency in 120 (65M, 55F) 5-year-old children. Speech disfluency, which was quantified via audio recordings, was measured as a continuous variable, covering a broad spectrum of disfluencies observed in a sample of children participating in the FinnBrain Birth Cohort study. Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and voxel-based morphometry (VBM) of the whole brain was utilised to examine the associations between GMD and speech disfluency. We found negative associations between
