Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Autism Research

Background:

  • The Geschwind and Galaburda theory proposes that disruptions in typical brain lateralization and development are linked to neurological anomalies.
  • Anomalous dominance refers to atypical patterns in brain hemisphere specialization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature applying the Geschwind and Galaburda theory to the study of autism.
  • To explore the biological associations of anomalous dominance within the context of autism.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies investigating brain dominance and autism.
  • Analysis of research connecting developmental anomalies to autism spectrum disorder.

Main Results:

  • The review synthesizes findings on hemispheric differences in individuals with autism.
  • Evidence is examined regarding potential links between early developmental factors and anomalous dominance in autism.

Conclusions:

  • The Geschwind and Galaburda theory provides a framework for understanding neurodevelopmental aspects of autism.
  • Further research is warranted to fully elucidate the role of anomalous dominance in the etiology of autism spectrum disorder.
