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: This new multisite open-data resource is an aggregate of resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and corresponding structural MRI and phenotypic datasets and includes a range of psychiatric variables to inform the understanding of the neural correlates of co-occurring psychopathology.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate potential gender differences in a series of tasks, involving the recognition of distinct features from point light displays (PLDs) depicting bodily movements of a male and female actor.

TL;DR: The data support the notion that ASD is a disorder of sexual differentiation rather than a disorder characterized by masculinization in both genders, and are needed to identify underlying factors such as sex hormonal alterations that drive these sex-specific neural expressions of ASD.

TL;DR: Aut Autism Spectrum Disorder-related alterations in ‘reading’ body language of other humans are explored, suggesting an additional ASD-specific deficit in recognizing the emotional dimension of the point light displays.
