abstract = {In typical development, empathic abilities continue to
refine during adolescence and early adulthood. Children and
adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) show
deficits in empathy, whereas adults with ASD may have
developed compensatory strategies. We aimed at comparing
developmental trajectories in the neural mechanisms
underlying empathy in individuals with ASD and typically
developing control (TDC) subjects. Using an explicit
empathizing paradigm and functional magnetic resonance
imaging, 27 participants with ASD and 27 TDC aged 12–31
years were investigated. Participants were asked to
empathize with emotional faces and to either infer the
face’s emotional state (other-task) or to judge their own
emotional response (self-task). Differential age-dependent
changes were evident during the self-task in the right
dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, right medial prefrontal
cortex, right inferior parietal cortex, right anterior
insula and occipital cortex. Age-dependent decreases in
neural activation in TDC were paralleled by either
increasing or unchanged age-dependent activation in ASD.
These data suggest ASD-associated deviations in the
developmental trajectories of self-related processing during
empathizing. In TDC, age-dependent modulations of brain
areas may reflect the ‘fine-tuning’ of cortical networks
by reduction of task-unspecific brain activity. Increased
age-related activation in individuals with ASD may indicate
the development of compensatory mechanisms.},
