Description
Summary:Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is widely developing neurodevelopmental disorder. The ASD is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder that effects the social interaction and behavior of human beings. In this review, we presented structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) studies that were examined in structural brain abnormalities of ASD patients. To date sMRI results were distinct, due to the diversity of the ASD itself. The accelerated brain volume is the uniform finding of ASD. However, the recent investigation reports have started to interpret the structural abnormalities of ASD patient’s brain. The most common abnormalities found in total brain volume, cerebellum, amygdala, hippocampal, basal ganglia, insula, gray and white matter. Limited sMRI research has been done on less than 2 years ASD children. Future research should include autistic children less than 2 years along with functional MRI and diffusion tensor imaging.
