摘要: The relation between autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and schizophrenia is a subject of intense debate research due to evidence common neurobiological pathways in the two disorders. objective this study was explore whether deficits prepulse inhibition (PPI) startle reflex, as usually seen schizophrenic patients, can be replicated group children with ASD comparison matched neuro-typically developed (NTD) controls. An additional aim possible psychophysiological subgroups within our sample. In case-control design, 35 patients 40 NTD controls were tested test battery. PPI acoustic reflex analyzed 18 subjects 34 Habituation sensitization 23 39 trials less prestimuli (76 dB), did not display drop percentage normally found healthy addition, showed significantly increased compared Combined, results may reflect hypersensitivity sensory information ASD. observed apparent.
