Idiosyncratic connectivity in autism: developmental and anatomical considerations

Trends Neurosci. 2015 May;38(5):261-3. doi: 10.1016/j.tins.2015.03.004. Epub 2015 Apr 2.

Abstract

Hahamy and colleagues demonstrate individualized alterations of functional connectivity in the brains of adults with autism, suggesting that previous characterizations of general under- or over-connectivity may be overly simplistic. Adopting a developmental perspective spanning both cortical and subcortical landscapes will further clarify the nature and extent of these atypicalities.
