Fig. 2: Brain regions replicated for ASD vs. TD differences in cortical volume, non-cortical volume, and cortical thickness.

Colors represent corresponding effect sizes (Cohen’s D), where regions with hot colors showed significant increases in size among ASD compared to TD and regions with cold colors showed significant decreases in size among ASD compared to TD; the darker the color, the larger the difference between ASD and TD. Cortical volume differences (left) are replicated in LH fusiform, LH, and RH middle temporal. Cortical thickness differences (middle) are replicated in LH superior temporal, LH pars opercularis, and RH bank STS. Non-cortical volume differences (right) are replicated in the RH cerebellum, mid posterior CC, mid anterior CC, and anterior CC.
