Within-group functional connectivity results for left- and right-hemisphere voice-selective cortex. (Left) TD children and children with ASD showed significant connectivity between left-hemisphere pSTS and a distributed cortical network. The seed region used in this analysis was a 6-mm sphere centered at the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) coordinates [−63, −42, 9] (23). (Right) In contrast to TD children, right-hemisphere pSTS connectivity is sparse for children with ASD and is restricted primarily to superior temporal cortex. The seed used in this analysis was a 6-mm sphere centered at MNI coordinates [57, −31, 5] (23). Images are thresholded at P < 0.000001 for voxel height and an extent of 100 voxels. aMTG, anterior middle temporal gyrus; BA 45, Brodmann area 45 (pars triangularis); FG, fusiform gyrus; pSTG, posterior superior temporal gyrus; OP, occipital pole; PT, planum temporale; Thal, thalamus.
