Results of rs-FCs from the aMPFC seed ROI between groups. (A) Comparison of rs-FCs from the aMPFC seed ROI between groups. There were significant clusters in the paracentral lobuli (left) and middle frontal gyrus (right). Detailed information on these clusters is shown in Table 2. (B) Mean and one standard error of Fisher’s z-transformed correlation coefficients extracted from the left paracentral lobule (left), right paracentral lobule (middle), and middle frontal gyrus (right) clusters are shown for each group. Rs-FCs were lower in the ASD group than in the TD group. (C) Scatter plots showing the correlations of the strength of rs-FCs in the aMPFC with left paracentral lobule (left), right paracentral lobule (middle), and MFG (right) with AQ total scores in each group. (D) Scatter plots showing the correlations of the strength of rs-FC in the aMPFC with left paracentral lobule (left), right paracentral lobule (middle), and MFG (right) with full-scale IQ score in each group. The red bar and squares represent individuals with ASD, and the blue bar and circles represent participants with TD. Color bar denotes t-statistic range.
