Amaral says it's possible that this early development accounts for the reduced number of neurons later in life.
Eleven bodies were found here, says Amaral, with more uncovered in nearby Glenoo.
Sergio Amaral, the trade minister, is sceptical of this and has commissioned fresh studies, due to be released later this month.
In Brazil, hundreds attended the funeral of Leopoldino Marques do Amaral, a judge assassinated after criticising his fellow judges for corruption.
Mr. AMARAL: We thought we'd end up, you know, either getting marginal results or something that would show us some subtle trends.
Amaral's study is among the first to take advantage of that system.
Amaral says it makes sense that there would be a difference in the amygdala because people with autism tend to be very anxious.
Xanana Gusmao, a former resistance fighter and figurehead of the country's independence movement, is certain to defeat Francisco do Amaral, his only rival.
Mr. DAVID AMARAL (MIND Institute, University of California-Davis): Our hope is that we can do something to intervene to prevent them from becoming autistic.
Mr. AMARAL: Of those, over 500 proteins were significantly different in the two groups of kids, and 117 or so were very significantly different.
Dr. David Amaral of the MIND Institute says the team used automated techniques to estimate the number of brain cells in each amygdala.
David Amaral of the MIND Institute at UC-Davis says ideally, treatment should begin before autism has a chance to cause permanent changes in children's brains.
Amaral says the brains of people with autism were clearly different.
Amaral says scientists are a long way from knowing, in part because the number of brains they've studied from people with autism is still only in the dozens.
Air force spokesman Col Jorge Amaral said earlier they were trying to reach the point from where the aircraft had last made contact, about 1, 200km (745 miles) north-east of Natal.
In the late 1920s, Tarsila do Amaral, a painter, and her husband, Osvaldo de Andrade, a writer, essayist and art critic, coined the term, anthropophagy, which they saw as a way of constructing a cultural identity by cannibalising other cultures without losing your individuality.
Items found in the same area Saturday were confirmed to have come from the jet, including pieces of the aircraft's wing section, luggage and a leather briefcase containing an airplane ticket with a reservation code for the doomed flight, Brazilian air force spokesman Jorge Amaral said.
