Figure 3From: Neuronal nucleus and cytoplasm volume deficit in children with autism and volume increase in adolescents and adults Multiregional prevalence of small neuronal nuclei in 4- to 8-year-old children with autism. Frequency distribution of neuronal nucleus volume in six selected structures demonstrates a significant shift towards small neuronal nuclei in 4- to 8-year-old autistic children (continuous line) in comparison to age-matched control subjects (dotted line), but differences between 11- to 64-year-old autistic and control subjects are significantly reduced or are undetectable.Back to article page
