IMPAIRED EFFECTIVE FUNCTIONAL CONNECTIVITY IN THE SOCIAL PREFERENCE OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER

Impaired effective functional connectivity in the social preference of children with autism spectrum disorder

BackgroundThe medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), amygdala (Amyg), and nucleus accumbens (NAc) have been identified as critical players in the social preference of individuals with ASD.However, the specific pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this role requires further clarification.In the current study, we applied Granger Causality Analysis (GCA

Using an Internal State Variable Model Framework to Investigate the Influence of Microstructure and Mechanical Properties on Ballistic Performance of Steel Alloys

An internal state variable (ISV)-based constitutive model has been used within a Lagrangian finite element analysis (FEA) framework to simulate ballistic impact of monolithic rolled homogenous armor (RHA) steel plates by RHA steel spheres and cylinders.The ISV model predictions demonstrate good agreement with experimental impact Desk Accessories da
