TL;DR: The results indicate that, even with high-quality data, DWI tractography alone is unlikely to provide an anatomically accurate map of the brain connectome, and suggest that there is an inherent limitation in determining long-range anatomical projections based on voxel-averaged estimates of local fiber orientation obtained from DWI data that is likely to be overcome by improvements in data acquisition and analysis alone.

TL;DR: The available evidence suggests that perceptual alterations are present in ASD, independent of social function, and that a visual perceptual impairment might also contribute.

TL;DR: These findings suggest that white-matter fibers in ventral occipito-temporal cortex support the integrated function of a distributed cortical network that subserves normal face processing.

TL;DR: The current state of ‘mirror system’ research is reviewed, several weaknesses in the field are pointed to, and suggestions for how better to study these remarkably interesting neurons in both neurotypical and autistic individuals are offered.

TL;DR: It is found that limitations of experimental design, statistical methods, and methodological artifacts may underlie many of the reported effects, seriously undermining the evidence for training-dependent structural changes in adult humans.
