Social animals detect the affective states of conspecifics and utilize this information to
orchestrate social interactions. In a social affective preference text in which experimental …

BACKGROUND:: Models of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) as neural disconnection
syndromes have been predominantly supported by examinations of abnormalities in …

Affective empathy (AE) is distinguished clinically and neurally from cognitive empathy (CE).
While AE is selectively disrupted in psychopathy, autism is associated with deficits in CE …

The human brain undergoes protracted developmental changes during which it constructs
functional networks that engender complex cognitive abilities. Understanding brain function …

Group differences in resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging connectivity
between individuals with autism and typically developing controls have been widely …

Functional connectivity between different brain regions can be estimated from MRI data by
computing the temporal correlation of low frequency (< 0.1 Hz) fluctuations in the MRI signal …

Anxiety is one of the most common clinical problems among children, adolescents, and
adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), yet we know little about its etiology in the …

Empirical evidence increasingly supports the hypothesis that patterns of intrinsic functional
connectivity (iFC) are sculpted by a history of evoked coactivation within distinct neuronal …

Despite the high clinical burden, little is known about pathophysiology underlying autism
spectrum disorder (ASD). Recent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs …

The cortical underconnectivity theory asserts that reduced long-range functional connectivity
might contribute to a neural mechanism for autism. We examined resting-state blood oxygen …
