孤独症谱系障碍(ASD)是一种神经发育障碍性疾病,男性患者多于女性。近年来,越来越多的研究开始关注ASD患者脑结构与功能的性别差异。基于磁共振成像(MRI)的神经影像研究尝试从脑灰白质结构、功能活动及神经代谢等多种角度阐述ASD性别差异的神经机制,这对理解ASD的病因及发病机制、促进早期诊断及个性化治疗都具有指导意义。本文分别对脑结构与功能神经影像在ASD患者性别差异中的研究进展进行综述,以期为这类患者的诊断提供参考。
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, with more male patients than female patients. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have begun to focus on the gender differences in brain structure and function among ASD patients. Neuroimaging studies utilizing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) attempts to explain the neural mechanisms of gender differences in ASD from various perspectives such as brain gray white matter structure, functional activity, and neurometabolism, which is of guiding significance for comprehending the etiology and pathogenesis of ASD, as well as promoting early diagnosis and personalized treatment. This paper reviews the research progress of brain structure and functional neuroimaging in the gender differences of ASD patients respectively, in order to provide reference for the diagnosis of such patients.
