        NDA Study - View Cohort

        The View Cohort shows the Study cohort characteristics which will includes the name, type, sex and age in months range criteria. Note that age and sex restrict the data that can be added to the cohort. Medical criteria and phenotype are also included. Of particular importance on this page are any comments related to included subjects, which may be different than published results, often attributed to data sharing consent.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        • How do I know the characteristics of the cohort?
          The appropriate Medical Criteria, Phenotype, and Sub Type defined by the Study Owner are highlighted. The option trees are automatically expanded so the highlighted options are immediately viewable.

        Individuals with high-functioning autism sometimes exhibit intact or superior performance on visuospatial tasks, in contrast to impaired functioning in other domains such as language comprehension, executive tasks, and social functions. The goal of the current study was to investigate the neural bases of preserved visuospatial processing in high-functioning autism from the perspective of the cortical underconnectivity theory. We used a combination of behavioral, functional magnetic resonance imaging, functional connectivity, and corpus callosum morphometric methodological tools. Thirteen participants with high-functioning autism and 13 controls (age-, IQ-, and gender-matched) were scanned while performing an Embedded Figures Task. Despite the ability of the autism group to attain behavioral performance comparable to the control group, the brain imaging results revealed several group differences consistent with the cortical underconnectivity account of autism. First, relative to controls, the autism group showed less activation in the left dorsolateral prefrontal and inferior parietal areas and more activation in visuospatial (bilateral superior parietal extending to inferior parietal and right occipital) areas. Second, the autism group demonstrated lower functional connectivity between higher-order working memory/executive areas and visuospatial regions (between frontal and parietal-occipital). Third, the size of the corpus callosum (an index of anatomical connectivity) was positively correlated with frontal-posterior (parietal and occipital) functional connectivity in the autism group. Thus, even in the visuospatial domain, where preserved performance among people with autism is observed, the neuroimaging signatures of cortical underconnectivity persist.

        NDA Study - Summary Tab

        An NDA Study describes an analysis, pipeline result, or curated data release - including the cohorts, measures, and methods - referencing the underlying source data in the NDA. Once the data is referenced and the study is shared, the underlying data will not change. It will be immutable allowing others to access those data without change into near perpetuity. Only the assessments (i.e. typically rows in a database) and outcome measures (i.e. columns in a database) included in the study are shared. By sharing data this way (e.g. specific outcome measures by subject/timepoint) an ongoing project's other unpublished data - typically other research aims - will remain embargoed according to a project's established data sharing schedule (see collection).

        When a study is created, a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is reserved by the NDA, but will not be active. Once the study is shared, the DOI will then be issued and if associated with a publication, the NDA DOI will be linked to the publication's DOI.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        • How can I get access to an NDA Study if I am involved in creating/modifying the NDA Study?
          The individual listed as an Investigator on the General tab of the NDA Collection and any individuals defined as administrators can be provided this privilege. When the study is shared, all of those that have approved access to the data are given read-only access.

        Glossary

        • Abstract
          The Abstract of the publication or other public disclosure of analysis results. The publication abstract is automatically imported when creating a new NDA Study from a Create Study link associated with a Publication listed in a Collection. The field is editable.
        • Documents
          Provides links to additional documentation to help explain the NDA Study.
        • Cohort
          Summarizes the characteristics of a group of research subjects. The subject count is noted in parentheses.
        • Data Analysis

        • Digital Object Identifier (DOI)
          A persistent and unique identifier that is issued for each NDA Study that may increase the visibility of a researcher's work. Authors are expected to reference the location of data in the publication using the DOI.
        • Download Button
          Adds all data from the current Collection or NDA Study to the Filter Cart.
        • Investigators
          The authors of the publication or other public disclosure of analysis results. The publication's authors are automatically imported when creating a new NDA Study from a Create Study link associated with a Publication listed in a Collection. The field is editable and uses a last name, first name format with multiple names separated by semicolons.
        • Primary Analysis
          Primary Analysis is one of the Data Use types NDA recognizes for NDA Studies. It indicates that the NDA Study's creator was involved in the collection of the data (in whole or in part) used in the NDA Study. In other words, at least some and potentially all of the data used was originally collected by the creator of the NDA Study. A Primary Analysis Study.
        • NDA Study Owner
          The NDA user, who does not necessarily have to be one of the Investigators listed in the NDA Study, primarily involved in creating the NDA Study who is serving as the point of contact. The NDA user who creates the NDA Study is automatically assigned as the Study Owner.
        • Private
          The term 'Private' generally means not available to others; however, there are some slightly different meanings based on what is Private. The default state for an NDA Collection, NDA Study, Supporting Documentation, and data is Private and, therefore, accessible only to those users with appropriate Privileges so it will not be viewable and searchable publicly. A Collection may be Shared while the data and Supporting Documentation remain Private.
        • Results
          Provides a link to the publication or other public disclosure of analysis results defined in the NDA Study.
        • Secondary Analysis
          Secondary Analysis is one of the Data Use types NDA recognizes for NDA Studies. It indicates that the NDA Study's creator was not involved in the collection of the data (in whole or in part) used in the NDA Study, but was involved in the analysis of those data. In other words, none of the data used was originally collected by the creator of the NDA Study. A Secondary Analysis Study will provide an Attribution Report listing the Collections and the researchers responsible for collecting and depositing the original data.
        • Study Type
          The NDA Study Type can be either Analysis (i.e. often associated with a computational pipeline), Clinical Trial, Finding (i.e. a result associated with a publication, or Release (i.e. a dataset release, often annually) to indicate the type of work defined in the NDA Study. Studies, once shared do not change.
        • Analysis Study Type
          The Analysis Study Type is primarily used to share a pipeline; however, it could be used to share a statistical analysis or method.
        • Release Study Type
          A static, curated data set.
        • Finding Study Type
          The Finding Study Type associates data to a publication or some type of result.
        • Clinical Trial Study Type
          A Clinical Trial Study is a finding specific to a clinical trial.
        • Study ID Number
          The Study ID number is a unique three digit number routinely expressed as S### that is assigned by the NDA.
        • Study State
          The Study State indicates whether the Study is viewable, searchable, and if the associated data can be accessed by users with appropriate data access Permissions. The default Study State is Private, which means that only the Collection Owner and users with Read Only Privileges. Only the Study Owner can Share the Study.
        • Study Title
          The Study Title is generally the title of the publication or other public disclosure of analysis results. The publication title is automatically imported when creating a new NDA Study from a Create Study link associated with a Publication listed in a Collection. The field is editable.
        • Edit Button
          The Edit Button allows a user to modify or add information once authenticated and if the user has appropriate permissions.
        • Return Button (Study)
          The Return Button brings the user back to the Data from Papers page.
        • Sex
          Sex is defined at birth and can only be Male or Female. In some places in the NDA, we incorrectly used the data_element name of Gender. Users are encouraged to review definitions and not make assumptions based upon a data element name.
        • Data Use Limitations
          Data Use Limitations (DULs) describe the appropriate secondary use of a dataset and are based on the original informed consent of a research participant. NDA only accepts consent-based data use limitations defined by the NIH Office of Science Policy.
        • Permission Group
          Access to shared record-level data in NDA is provisioned at the level of a Permission Group. NDA Permission Groups consist of one or multiple NDA Collections that contain data with the same subject consents.
