Developmental differences in neural correlates of semantic processing and executive performances between autistic boys and non-autistic boys
Our findings implicate a developmental alteration in the left anterior prefrontal cortex related to semantic processing in autistic youths, with these changes differentially associated with executive functions across autistic and non-autistic groups. These findings elucidate the interplay between the semantic networks and executive functions in autistic youths.
