Figure 3.

Illustration of the average percent signal change in the right and left fusiform across all experimental conditions. As shown, percent signal change in response to adult stranger faces was significantly reduced in children with an ASD in the left fusiform in comparison to typically developing children. Overall, average percent signal change values were more variable in the left fusiform than the right for children with autism. Error bars represent SEM. Only voxels that were significantly active at p<.01 were included in this analysis.
