In resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) decreased frontal-posterior connectivity is a persistent finding. However, the picture default mode network (DMN) hypoconnectivity remains incomplete. addition, analyses have been shown to be susceptible even subtle motion. DMN in ASD has specifically called for re-evaluation with stringent motion correction, which we aimed conduct by so-called scrubbing. A rich set subnetworks can...
