Previous studies concerning the volumes of the amygdala and the hippocampus in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) show inconsistent results. We acquired magnetic resonance images of 30 individuals with ASD and individually matched controls. All participants had an IQ>100 to increase the likelihood of including non-syndromal forms of ASD. Manually defined amygdala volumes showed no significant group difference, while hippocampi were significantly enlarged in ASD. This finding is discussed with regard to the 'intense world hypothesis'.
先前有关自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)患者杏仁核和海马体体积的研究结果并不一致。我们获取了 30 名 ASD 患者和个体匹配对照者的磁共振图像。所有参与者的智商>100,以增加包括非综合征形式 ASD 的可能性。手动定义的杏仁核体积没有显示出显著的组间差异,而 ASD 患者的海马体明显增大。该发现结合“强烈世界假说”进行了讨论。
