Reproducibility of smaller GMV of pSPL in autism. We examined the reproducibility of the diminished GMV seen in the pSPL in autism and its link with the RRB symptoms (Fig. 6D,G) using two independent neuroimaging datasets of high-functioning adults with ASD and age-, IQ-, and sex-matched controls (University of Utah and ETH Zürich; Table 2). In both datasets, the GMV of the pSPL (yellow area in Fig. 6B) was decreased in the ASD individuals (A) and showed smaller values when the individuals with ASD had more severe RRB symptoms (B).
