Autism and Adaptive Responses, and exploring the mPFC, ACC, and Insula

From the Spectrum: Finding Superpowers with Autism by Ryan Sumner

Episode notes

In this episode, we explore three regions associated with social awareness- the medial Prefrontal Cortex, the Anterior Cingulate Cortex, and the Insula. We review the functions of each, the interactions between each region, and the inputs and bi-directional connections to some crucial areas of the brain. In large part, we will review adaptive responses and cover some scientific literature on these regions and the implications to Autism.
