MRI Brain (Volumetry, fMRI & MRS) in Autism

To reach a feasible method for diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) outcome measures:Primary (main):Measurement of various brain structures, including the total brain volume, the volumes of specific brain regions (such as the amygdala, hippocampus, and cerebellum), and the thickness of the cortex.Detection of other concurrent lesions, e.g. tuberous sclerosisSecondary (subsidiary):levels of various neurotransmitters, such as glutamate and GABA, and other metabolites, such as N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), in specific regions of the brain Assessing neural activity and connectivity in the brain in the resting state

Inclusion Criteria:Children clinically diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.Males and Females.Children with an IQ of more than 70%Exclusion Criteria:Severe forms of ASD.Children with IQ less than 70%.Children with claustrophobia.
