- Selected as the Brain Editor’s Choice and featured in news worldwide, this paper reports a novel method for creating voxel-level analyses of the whole brain. Using this, over 1 billion voxel connectivities were analysed, covering 47,000 different areas of the brain, to isolate the functional differences between brains of autistic and control groups. This provided a foundation for a number of large-scale studies of functional connectivity in the brain, including on the default mode network (Menon, Stanford) and sex differences (Wenderoth, ETH Zurich) in autism, vagus nerve treatment for autism-spectrum disorders (Kong, Harvard) and predictors of autism severity (Evans, McGill).
