TL;DR: The findings suggest that the neural basis of disordered language in autism entails a lower degree of information integration and synchronization across the large-scale cortical network for language processing.

TL;DR: The comprehension of visually presented sentences produces brain activation that increases with the linguistic complexity of the sentence, and the amount of neural activity that a given cognitive process engenders is dependent on the computational demand that the task imposes.

TL;DR: The brain activation of a group of high-functioning autistic participants was measured using functional magnetic resonance imaging during the performance of a Tower of London task, in comparison with a control group matched with respect to intelligent quotient, age, and gender to suggest underconnectivity in the group with autism.

TL;DR: The results indicate that both groups have a resting-state network that is very similar both in volume and in organization, but in autism this network is much more loosely connected.

TL;DR: An fMRI study was used to measure the brain activation of a group of adults with high-functioning autism compared to a Full Scale and Verbal IQ and age-matched control group during an n-back working memory task with letters, suggesting that the normal controls might use verbal codes to perform the task, while the adults with autism might use visual codes.
