Gray Matter Volume Linked to Language Deficits in Autism

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who have language impairment show lower gray matter volume and greater gyrification in the temporal and frontal lobes of the cerebral cortex, which are crucial for language function. The study's findings could help design specialized education programs for children with autism by understanding the structural characteristics that contribute to behavioral deficits.
