Group activation maps for the linear trend analyses in ASD and TD groups during CMT. Significant activations using cluster-based thresholding determined by Z > |2.3| and a corrected cluster significance threshold of p = 0.05. Areas in red depict regions of increasing activation as a function of difficulty (i.e. positive linear relations between cortical activity and task difficulty level), and areas in blue depict regions of decreasing activation (i.e. negative linear relations between cortical activity and task difficulty level). dmPFC dorsal medial prefrontal cortex, Post Cing posterior cingulate cortex, Prec precuneus, DLPFC dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, ACC anterior cingulate cortex, IFG inferior frontal gyrus, MidOcG middle occipital gyrus, FusG fusiform gyrus, amPFG anterior medial prefrontal gyrus.
