Convergent evidence of brain overconnectivity in children with autism?

Cell Rep. 2013 Nov 14;5(3):565-6. doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2013.10.043.

Abstract

In this issue of Cell Reports, Keown et al. and Supekar et al. report widespread increases in brain connectivity in children with autism. These studies challenge the widely established theory of underconnectivity in autism, suggesting a more complicated picture of brain connectivity alterations.
