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

The Effects of Eucalyptus Oil, Glutathione, and Lemon Essential Oil on the Debonding Force, Adhesive Remnant Index, and Enamel Surface During Debonding of Ceramic Brackets

Objective:The present study aimed to find a chemical reagent that would reduce the debonding force to enable easier debonding of the ceramic brackets, thus reducing enamel damage as well as chair side time.Methods:The study included 4 groups -control (distilled water), eucalyptus oil, glutathione and lemon essential oil for immersing teeth bonded w
