... from ASD patients there is evidence of abnormal functioning and cerebellum alterations [61–63]. Indeed, ASD subjects show a decreased number of Purkinje cells in the cerebellum [64]. These changes could reflect defective cortical organization in ASDs development. In addition, autism is associated wi ...
