The neurobiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is complex and heterogeneous. Although valuable insights into the neural substrates of ASD have been gained in the past decade, the low specificity of neuroimaging measures has hampered the development of ASD biomarkers that are suitable for efficient patient stratification and application in translational research. Ecker and Murphy review recent progress in developing more-specific neuroimaging markers for ASD, and argue for a multidisciplinary approach to enable integration of the findings into translational research.
