Atypical local connectivity in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared to normal controls (NCs). The z-maps of the group comparison of local connectivity are shown (NC>ASD and ASD>NC). Multiple comparisons were corrected based on the Gaussian random field theory (z > 2.3; cluster-level significance p < 0.05, corrected). The red-yellow color represents positive z-statistics, which indicates significant reductions in the group of individuals with ASD compared to the group of NCs. On the other hand, the light-blue color represents negative z-statistics, which indicates significant increases in the ASD group compared to the NC group. a The ASD group exhibited reduced local connectivity in a large cluster (4360 voxels) that included the bilateral LING, bilateral FG, and right MTG. b The ASD group showed enhanced local connectivity in a cluster (1809 voxels) that consisted of the right SFG, MFG, and PreCG. Right (R), left (L), lingual gyrus (LING), fusiform gyrus (FG), middle temporal gyrus (MTG), superior frontal gyrus (SFG), middle frontal gyrus (MFG), and precentral gyrus (PreCG)
