Sensory-evoked neural activation in pre-teens and teens. The top three rows display within- and between-group results in pre-teens (ages 8.6–12.9), and the bottom three rows display results in teens (ages 13.6–18.0). Between-group contrasts were masked with within-group results at z > 1.7, with red indicating clusters that were activated in the ASD group (ASD > TD) and blue showing clusters that were deactivated in the TD group (TD < ASD). There were no TD > ASD results that survived the statistical threshold in pre-teens and teens. ASD Autism spectrum disorder, TD Typically developing youth
