Understanding Neural Underpinning of Autism Spectrum Disorder:From Its Correlation with Mirror Neuron System

摘要：

Autism is characterized by their deficit in social cognition.Recently,as the understanding of mirror neuron system(MNS)goes further,researchers proposed the possible correlation between autism and impaired MNS.This current paper briefly reviewed the studies in this domain and illustrated major functions exerted by MNS.In addition,the paper presented evidences obtained from multiple sources to support the hypothesis that deficit in MNS is core feature of neural mechanisms of ASD.Finally,the issues future studies should address are discussed.
