Characterizing the network properties and development of functional networks in these forms of NDD may allow further classification of people with idiopathic forms of autism. Additionally, as animal models exist for these disorders, there may be opportunities to discover the cellular and molecular basis of the abnormal development of these functional networks. Finally, clustering those cases of idiopathic autism on the basis of their functional connectivity would create more homogeneous clinical populations to further discover the exact etiology of the specific NDD.The exact biological basis of the development of functional connectivity is still an open question. Strictly anatomical developmental changes are clearly important for dispersed brain regions to form functional connections. But there is additional complexity that arises in neural circuits, as many functional pathways do not have
