Gamma Band Dysfunction as a Local Neuronal Connectivity Endophenotype in Autism

We believe that individuals with autism spectrum disorders and their first-degree relatives do not process sound the same way people without autism or Asperger’s syndrome process sound. This study tried to discover the mechanisms for this difference by studying the relevant areas of the brain.
