Table 2 Similar and different associations between dysregulation and GFA values between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing controls (TDC) based on the main sample.

From: Association of self-regulation with white matter correlates in boys with and without autism spectrum disorder

Pattern	Tract	Connected ROIs	Connected ROIs	System
Similar association	Not significant
Different association
(a) The lower GFA values with the worse regulation in ASD/the better regulation in TDC
	Left ILF	L_temporal pole	Occipital lobe	Emotion recognition and visual-affective integration
	Left UF	L_orbitofrontal gyrus	L_superior temporal pole	Emotion regulation
	CC of genu	L_frontal components, including orbitofrontal gyrus	R_frontal components, including orbitofrontal gyrus	high cortical function regulation
