ABSTRACT

Autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) are located in a continuum where different levels of affectation with common cognitive and neurobehavioral alterations are contemplated. The knowledge acquired from the neuroscience approach and using neuroimaging techniques could provide improvements in the diagnosis and therapeutic approach of this group of developmental disorders. The ASD characterization has its central axis in the social deficits that are present in all the levels of affectation under different intensity, but with structural base in the so-called "social brain". There is some confusion in the scientific literature regarding the direction of abnormalities found in the social brain of autism, either with respect to morphology (greater or less density of gray matter) or connectivity (hypo or hyperactivation), although the relationship Between the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex has gained in recent years relevance for its important role in the regulation of the emotional processes present in social interaction, related to the understanding of others and of oneself, and that are deficient in people with autism.
