Differences in Signal Increases During Language Conditions Between TD and ASD Children

TD > ASD	Anatomical Location	BA	X	y	z	t
↑U+S
L	Superior temporal gyrus	22	−50	−38	18	3.69
L	Supramarginal gyrus	40	−52	−42	32	4.32
L	Inferior parietal lobule	40	−54	−50	38	3.86
R	Superior parietal lobule	40	24	−52	54	3.66
R	Caudate		12	0	12	3.73

Significantly greater signal increases in parietal and temporal cortices and caudate in TD children than children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). There were no significant effects in the opposite direction (>TD). Results corrected for multiple comparisons at voxel: t > 2.54, p < .01, cluster: k > 88, p < .05. Reported peaks are t > 3.33. Caudate cluster small-volume corrected (9 mm). Other abbreviations as in Table 2.
