In autism, neural activity was reduced in the left supplementary motor
area and left
auditory cortex (whole brain interaction p < 0.02, uncorrected; Heschl's gyrus, p = 0.02 FWE corrected; 54, -19, 7 MNI coordinates), and enhanced in bilateral visual cortex (whole brain p < 0.01 uncorrected, 3, - 91, -8 MNI coordinates).
