Enhanced Salience and Emotion Recognition in Autism: A PET Study

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This study examined neural activation of facial stimuli in autism when the salience of emotional cues was increased by prosodic information. METHOD: Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was measured while eight high-functioning men with autism and eight men without autism performed an emotion-recognition task in which facial emotion stimuli were matched with prosodic voices and a baseline gender-recognition task.
