Benkarim et al devise an approach to profile inter-individual variability in functional network organization and test whether such idiosyncrasy contributes to the connectivity alterations found in Autism Spectrum Disorder. Their approach provides potential biomarkers to study atypical brain development and may be used to consolidate prior research findings on the variable nature of connectome level anomalies in autism.
