- The study conducted a bibliometric analysis of neuroimaging research on cognitive control in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) from 2000 to 2025.
- Research output grew exponentially, especially after 2012, driven by the popularization of fMRI technology.
- Key themes include functional connectivity, executive function, and the default mode network, with a shift from functional localization to brain network dysregulation.
- The Triple Network Model by Menon was the most cited document, forming the core theoretical basis for understanding ASD as a disorder of large-scale brain network dysfunction.
- Emerging hotspots include transdiagnostic research, while future directions focus on multimodal imaging, machine learning, and dynamic connectivity.
- The field has evolved from studying isolated brain regions to exploring static and dynamic dysregulation of brain networks, with a broader perspective towards transdiagnostic frameworks.
