FIGURE 5.

Scatter plots of correlation analyses of FC values and behavioral measurements in the ASD group. (A) FC strength between the vermis VI and right MdFG was negatively correlated with total test score on the M-ABC 2 (r = –0.826, p = 0.011). (B) FC strength between the right lobule IX and right lobule VI was negatively correlated with total score on the SRS 2 (r = –0.643, p = 0.045). (C) FC strength between the vermis VIIIa and right AG was negatively correlated with GEC score on the BRIEF (r = –0.745, p = 0.003). FC, functional connectivity; ASD, autism spectrum disorder; MdFG, medial frontal gyrus; M-ABC 2, Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2; SRS 2, Social Responsiveness Scale 2; AG, angular gyrus; GEC, global executive composite; BRIEF, Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function.
