List of significantly weaker (ASD < TD) functional connections in ASD children from KKI, NYU, UCLA, UM, obtained for p < 0.01, p < 0.005, and p < 0.001. Beside the Harvard-Oxford labels of the regions defining the connections, lowercase letters are reported in reference to the visual representation of each connection shown in Figure 4.
