Abstract:

社会无能作为自闭症的一个显著特征，对面部信息加工存在困难是造成自闭症社会交往障碍的一个重要原因。行为实验发现，自闭症儿童与同等智力的正常儿童相比，其面孔识别测验的得分更低；自闭症患者观看关于社会交往的视频，更多注意人的嘴部或无关物品。fMRI研究中，发现自闭症患者的杏仁核(AMY)，颞下沟(STS)，梭状回(FFG)等脑区与其面部信息加工困难有关，这为自闭症的异常行为研究提供了神经生理基础。
Social disability is a significant characteristic of autism. And facial information processing difficulty is an important cause of autism social communication disorders. In behavioral experiments, the score of the face cognition test of the autism children is lower compared with normal children of the same intelligence. When autism was watching video on social interaction, they paid more attention to person’s mouth or irrelevant items. In fMRI studies it’s showed that amygdala (AMY), super temporal sulcus (STS), fusiform gyrus (FFG) and related brain regions are responsible for the difficulties of facial information processing in autism. These studies provide the evidence of the abnormal behavior of autism in neural physiological basis.
