characterized by impaired social communication and restricted and repetitive behaviors …

Abstract Background Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) symptoms have been hypothesized
to result from altered brain connectivity. The 'disconnectivity'hypothesis has been used to …

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) represent a formidable challenge for psychiatry and
neuroscience because of their high prevalence, lifelong nature, complexity and substantial …

Objective: Evidence from prospective studies of high-risk infants suggests that early
symptoms of autism usually emerge late in the first or early in the second year of life after a …

White matter tracts of the brain allow neurons and neuronal networks to communicate and
function with high efficiency. The aim of this review is to briefly introduce diffusion tensor …

functioning. Functional connectivity MRI (fcMRI) studies examining neural networks in …

Converging evidence from diverse studies suggests that atypical brain connectivity in autism
affects in distinct ways short-and long-range cortical pathways, disrupting neural …

The uncinate fasciculus (UF) is a long-range white matter tract that connects limbic regions
in the temporal lobe to the frontal lobe. The UF is one of the latest developing tracts, and …
