| Sumario: | In this issue, the article by Qui and colleagues on pp. 539–551 and the article by Groen and colleagues on pp. 552–560 represent related and complementary approaches for mapping brain features to behavior in persons with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Both approaches yield important information about the geography of the brain in individuals with an ASD and correlate the geographic disturbances with symptoms of the disorder, but they do so at varying degrees of spatial resolution and therefore with different abilities to identify the specific neural circuits that the pathogenesis of ASDs entails. The writer discusses the methods used to produce finer-grained anatomic analyses and the ways in which they differ from the measurements of conventional volumes. |
