TL;DR: W Whole-brain analyses reconciled seemingly disparate themes of both hypo- and hyperconnectivity in the ASD literature; both were detected, although hypoconnectivity dominated, particularly for corticocortical and interhemispheric functional connectivity.

TL;DR: It is found that dorsal and ventral anterior insula responded selectively to disgusting images, while posterior insula did not, and clustering of connectivity patterns can be used to subdivide cerebral cortex into anatomically and functionally meaningful subregions.

TL;DR: The distinct brain responses to biological motion exhibited by TD children and US are striking given the identical behavioral profile of these two groups, and offer far-reaching implications for the understanding of the neural systems underlying autism.

TL;DR: The functional organization of the superiortemporalsulcus (STS) remains debated: is this broad region composed of multiple functionally distinct modules, each specialized for a different process, or are STS subregions multifunctional, contributing to multiple processes? Isthe STS spatially organized, and ifso, whatarethedominant features of thisorganization? as mentioned in this paper addressthesequestions by measuringSTSresponsestoarangeof social andlinguisticstimuliintheamesetofhumanparticipants, using f

TL;DR: The authors found that the visual cortex of 4-6-month-old infants contains regions that respond preferentially to abstract categories (faces and scenes), with a spatial organization similar to adults, but their response profiles and patterns of activity across multiple visual categories differ between infants and adults.
