Summary of the main findings. The fractional anisotropy (FA) was significantly decreased, whereas the mean diffusivity (MD) was significantly increased in the corpus callosum (CC) in subjects with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) compared with TD individuals. The FA was significantly decreased in individuals with ASDs in the left (lt) but not in the right (rt) uncinate fasciculus (UF). There was no significant difference in MD values in the UF between subjects with ASDs and TD individuals. The FA was significantly decreased in the left superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) but not in the right SLF. The MD was significantly increased in the SLF bilaterally.
