Meta-analysis reveals altered neuroimaging in facial emotion processing in autism, suggesting neural compensatory strategies.

To analyze neuroimaging studies focusing on facial emotion processing in individuals with autism spectrum disorder.
Conducted a meta-analysis of functional neuroimaging studies
Examined brain activations during facial emotion processing tasks
Exploratory subgroup analyses for explicit tasks and minors
Findings indicated decreased activation in the left IFG during emotion processing
Additional aberrant activations were noted in the ventral stream
Explicit tasks and minors may involve multiple visual systems as a compensatory strategy.

Chen et al. (2025) studied this question.
