Early childhood network alterations in severe autism.
CONCLUSION: The findings from the current study provide early stage evidence of aberrant brain connectivity appearing in severe ASD, prior to the effect of environmental bias and pruning mechanisms. The clustering of the Heschl's gyrus correlated to the severity of ASD symptoms and agrees with current literature on ASD-associated cortical changes, reflecting early changes to language processing regions.
