Effect of the interaction between age and SRS on DCM parameters. For clarity of presentation, participants’ SRS are stratified in low (total SRS < -1SD), mid (total SRS between −1SD and +1SD) and high (total SRS > 1 SD). Each panel shows the relationship between age and the self-connection strength in the auditory cortex for the three groups. Contrary to what we observed in low and mid SRS individuals, high symptom severity was associated with decreased A1 self-connection strength with age. Abbreviations: SRS = Social Responsiveness Scale.
