Is functional brain connectivity atypical in autism? A systematic review of EEG and MEG studies

Abstract: BackgroundAlthough it is well recognized that autism is associated with altered patterns of over- and under-connectivity, specifics are still a matter of debate. Little has been done so far to synthesize available literature using whole-brain electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings.Objectives1) To systematically review the literature on EEG/MEG functional and effective connectivity in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), 2) to synthesize and critically appraise findings related with… Show more

“…From the neural perspective, the heterogenous behavioral traits of ASD are not thought to stem from specific regions of the brain, but rather from atypical connectivity between brain regions. Atypical connectivity has been identified in numerous studies across multiple brain networks in ASD using various neuroimaging methods, including structural and functional MRI, EEG and MEG, and fNIRS (for reviews, see Hull et al, 2017;O'Reilly, Lewis, & Elsabbagh, 2017;Rane et al, 2015;Zhang & Roeyers, 2019). Although the findings of altered connectivity in ASD are vast, one finding that is particularly relevant to the current design is that Inflexibility of neural circuitry has been linked to behavioral inflexibility in ASD.…”

“…Altered connectivity between brain areas is increasingly understood to be a characteristic feature of ASD (Geschwind & Levitt, 2007). There is considerable evidence that brain connectivity in ASD is associated with cognitive and affective alterations in this group (Hull, Jacokes, Torgerson, Irimia, & Van Horn, 2017;O'Reilly, Lewis, & Elsabbagh, 2017;Picci, Gotts, & Scherf, 2016;Rane et al, 2015). Both functional overconnectivity and underconnectivity, as well as normal levels of connectivity have been reported in ASD population (Cerliani et al, 2015;Cheng, Rolls, Gu, Zhang, & Feng, 2015;Di Martino et al, 2014;Monk et al, 2009;Vissers, Cohen, & Geurts, 2012).…”

“…Functional brain networks and characteristics have been used in the past to study differences between typical and atypical brain development. In autism spectrum disorder (ASD) for example, global connectivity (the averaged connection strengths of the whole brain network) tends to be deteriorated at lower frequencies, which is compensated by increased global connectivity at higher frequencies (Boersma et al, 2013;O'Reilly, Lewis, & Elsabbagh, 2017;Orekhova et al, 2014;Peters et al, 2013;Righi, Tierney, Tager-Flusberg, & Nelson, 2014). Similarly in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder show an increase in frontal low alpha connectivity and a decrease in frontal high alpha connectivity (Murias, Swanson, & Srinivasan, 2007).…”
