Özet

Objectives: It has been shown that autistic spectrum patients have impaired theory of mind (ToM) performance; however no study has investigated the relationship between ToM performance and brain neurochemistry in these patients. The present study aimed to investigate the correlations between dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA)/choline (Cho), NAA/creatine (Cr), and Cho/Cr values based on H-1 magnetic resonance spectroscopy and ToM tests.
