Neuroimaging analysis reveals disrupted connectivity patterns in preschool children with autism spectrum disorder, indicating potential neurophysiological markers.

Key Points

This research investigates the changes in brain connectivity patterns in preschool children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Recruited 36 children with ASD and 36 typically developing controls
Analyzed resting-state EEG data across four frequency bands
Constructed static and dynamic functional networks using graph-theoretical metrics
Developed between-frequency networks for cross-frequency interactions
ASD children showed increased δ and β connectivity and decreased θ and α connectivity in low-order networks
High-order networks revealed increased δ connectivity and reduced α connectivity
Graph-theoretical metrics indicated significant disruptions in α-band topology
Dynamic analysis highlighted abnormalities in δ and α frequencies in high-order networks
