Fig. 2

Between-group differences in the integrated gradient values. A Shown is the schema of the integrated gradient technique (left). We summarized the integrated gradient values of neurotypical controls and individuals with autism based on seven functional communities (right). B We compared the integrated gradient values between individual with autism and neurotypical controls after the z-normalization. We assessed two-sample t-tests with 1000 permutation tests by shuffling group indices. We then applied a false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05. The t-statistics of the between-group differences are shown (left). Within- and between-network effects are plotted based on the t-statistics of the between-group differences (right). The highest effects of between-network were shown in red lines. The high effects were observed within the default mode and frontoparietal networks, and between the visual and frontoparietal/ventral attention networks as well as between the somatomotor and limbic networks
