Synopsis

Keywords: fMRI Analysis, fMRI (resting state), Autism

Motivation: Neuroimaging analysis of brain functional changes can provide a new imaging perspective for understanding the neural mechanism and providing biomarkers for the clinical diagnosis of ASD.

Goal(s): This study aimed to explore the brain functional changes in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Approach: All subjects underwent brain resting state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) scans.The data were analyzed using various methods including functional segregation and functional integration.

Results: The results showed the significant higher and lower activities in many brain regions, hypo-connectivity between different brain networks and only hyper-connectivity between DAN and DMN.

Impact: The functional changes of the brain may be the pathogenesis for children with ASD accompanied, which could become the biomarkers in future clinical diagnosis.
