Patterns of connectome variability in autism across five functional activation tasks. Findings from the LEAP project

The paper identifies patterns of neural variability in autism using fMRI across tasks, finding greater global connectivity deviations and similar spatial patterns in autistic individuals compared to controls.

Autism is associated with inter-individual variations of gray and white matter morphology

The paper identifies a multimodal brain pattern associated with autism by integrating gray and white matter morphology data and linking it to clinical symptoms.

Variation in glutamate and GABA genes and their association with brain structure and chemistry in autism

This study investigates the association between genetic variation in glutamate and GABA genes and brain structure/chemistry in autism, finding differential involvement in specific brain regions.

Subtly altered topological asymmetry of brain structural covariance networks in autism spectrum disorder across 43 datasets from the ENIGMA consortium

The paper examines hemispheric asymmetry in structural covariance networks in ASD across 43 datasets, finding altered topological features in specific brain regions.

The Development of Cognitive Control in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Longitudinal fMRI study

This study uses longitudinal fMRI to examine cognitive control development in children with ASD or OCD and typically developing children, finding similar cognitive control development despite some neural differences in OCD.

Analysis of structural brain asymmetries in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in 39 datasets

This study analyzes structural brain asymmetries in ADHD using 39 datasets, finding small effects that do not meet study-wide significance thresholds.

Towards robust and replicable sex differences in the intrinsic brain function of autism

The paper investigates sex differences in autism using resting-state fMRI data, finding significant effects in brain connectivity and replicating some findings in independent samples.

Evidence for Similar Structural Brain Anomalies in Youth and Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Machine Learning Analysis

This study uses machine learning to show that structural brain anomalies in ADHD are similar in children and adults, supporting continuity of the disorder's pathophysiology.

Longitudinal alterations in fronto-striatal glutamate are associated with functioning during inhibitory control in autism spectrum disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder

The paper examines longitudinal changes in fronto-striatal glutamate and its relationship with inhibitory control functioning in ASD and OCD across a one-year period.

Gray matter covariations and core symptoms of autism. The EU-AIMS Longitudinal European Autism Project

The paper identifies structural covariation alterations in autism using VBM and links these patterns to core autism symptoms through canonical correlation analysis.

Atypical brain asymmetry in autism - a candidate for clinically meaningful stratification

The paper identifies atypical brain asymmetry in autism as a potential neurophenotype for stratification, showing individualized patterns linked to symptom severity and language delay.

Attenuated Anticipation of Social and Monetary Rewards in Autism Spectrum Disorders

This study investigates reward processing in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and finds generalized hypoactivity in the ventral striatum during anticipation of both social and monetary rewards.

Differential neural circuitry behind autism subtypes with imbalanced social-communicative and restricted repetitive behavior symptoms

The paper develops a phenotypic stratification model to predict autism subtypes based on SC-RRB balance and applies it to fMRI data, identifying subtype-specific neural circuitry and gene expression patterns.

Altered structural brain asymmetry in autism spectrum disorder: large-scale analysis via the ENIGMA Consortium

This study identifies altered structural brain asymmetry in autism spectrum disorder using a large-scale meta-analysis of MRI data from 1,774 ASD cases and 1,809 controls.

Shared vulnerability for connectome alterations across psychiatric and neurological brain disorders

The paper identifies shared disconnectivity patterns in central brain pathways across twelve psychiatric and neurological disorders using a meta-analytic connectome study.

Subcortical brain volume, regional cortical thickness and cortical surface area across attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): findings from the ENIGMA-ADHD, -ASD, and -OCD working groups

This study compares structural brain differences across ADHD, ASD, and OCD using MRI data from multiple cohorts, finding disorder-specific alterations in brain volume and cortical thickness.

Dissecting the heterogeneous cortical anatomy of autism spectrum disorder using normative models

This study uses normative models to analyze cortical thickness deviations in ASD, finding individualized patterns rather than common case-control differences.
