Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormalities of intrinsic functional connectivity in autism spectrum disorders.
Christopher S. Monk,Scott Peltier,Jillian Lee Wiggins,Shih Jen Weng,Melisa Carrasco,Susan Risi,Catherine Lord +6 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that ASD subjects show altered intrinsic connectivity within the default network, and connectivity between these structures is associated with specific ASD symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alterations of resting state functional connectivity in the default network in adolescents with autism spectrum disorders
Shih Jen Weng,Jillian Lee Wiggins,Scott Peltier,Melisa Carrasco,Susan Risi,Catherine Lord,Christopher S. Monk +6 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate that adolescents with ASD show weaker connectivity in the default network than previously reported in adults with ASD, and shows that weaker connectivity within thedefault network is associated with specific impairments in ASD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural circuitry of emotional face processing in autism spectrum disorders.
Christopher S. Monk,Shih Jen Weng,Jillian Lee Wiggins,Nikhil T. Kurapati,Hugo M.C. Louro,Melisa Carrasco,Julie Maslowsky,Susan Risi,Catherine Lord +8 more
TL;DR: When attention bias to emotional faces was equivalent between ASD and control groups, ASD was associated with greater amygdala activation, and alterations in connectivity are consistent with emotion and face processing disturbances in ASD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural Activation to Emotional Faces in Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Shih Jen Weng,Melisa Carrasco,Johnna R. Swartz,Jillian Lee Wiggins,Nikhil T. Kurapati,Israel Liberzon,Susan Risi,Catherine Lord,Christopher S. Monk +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used functional MRI to characterize activation in the amygdala, ventral prefrontal cortex (vPFC), and striatum, three structures involved in socio-emotional processing in adolescents with ASD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using a self-organizing map algorithm to detect age-related changes in functional connectivity during rest in autism spectrum disorders.
Jillian Lee Wiggins,Scott Peltier,Samantha Ashinoff,Shih Jen Weng,Melisa Carrasco,Robert C. Welsh,Catherine Lord,Christopher S. Monk +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that adolescents with ASD versus controls have weaker connectivity between the posterior hub of the default network and the right superior frontal gyrus, and this findings indicate that SOM is a complementary method for calculating connectivity in a clinical population.
