Article Synopsis
  • There is an increased focus on analyzing how brain networks behave over time in resting state fMRI studies, particularly comparing individuals with autism to typically developing controls.
  • The research employed hierarchical clustering to categorize brain image volumes from adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and typically developing controls, revealing significant differences in voxel-wise means across various resting state networks (RSNs).
  • Findings indicated that while brain state proportions were similar, the ASD group demonstrated more varied activation patterns and reduced deactivation across multiple networks, highlighting differences in brain connectivity and activity states between the two groups.

The present study examined attention and memory load-dependent differences in the brain activation and deactivation patterns between adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and typically developing (TD) controls using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Attentional (0-back) and working memory (WM; 2-back) processing and load differences (0 vs. 2-back) were analysed.

FMRI was performed with the dynamic facial expressions fear and happiness. This was done to detect differences in valence processing between 25 subjects with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and 27 typically developing controls. Valence scaling was abnormal in ASDs.
