Cell counts in cerebral cortex of an autistic patient.
Numbers of neurons and glia were counted in the cerebral cortex of one well-documented case of autism and two age- and sex-matched controls. Areas in which cell counts were made were primary auditory cortex, Broca's speech area, and auditory association cortex. No consistent differences in cell density were found between the brains of the autistic patient and the control patients.
