Figure 6.

Representative graph depicting most significant region that showed an age by diagnosis group interactions with caudate and putamen (DC, drP, vrP). For all analyses, we used a Monte Carlo simulation for cluster correction (voxel-wise p < 0.005, cluster-level p < 0.004 or 105 voxels) (AFNI; 3dClustSim). Z-transformed correlation coefficients are displayed on the y-axis and age in years on the x-axis of each graph. Title of each graph describes the seed region and the relevant connecting cluster. Partial R² values of the regression lines for each group are depicted on each graph (R²_ASD and R²_TD). Triangles and solid lines are TD participants, squares and dashed lines are ASD participants. L, Left; R, Right; DC, Dorsal Caudate; drP, dorsal rostral Putamen; vrP, ventral rostral Putamen; TD, Typical Development; ASD, Autism Spectrum Disorder. See Table 4 for cluster coordinates. See Figure S5 for all graphs.
