Background Individuals on the autism spectrum have been long described to process
sensory information differently than neurotypical individuals. While much effort has been …

Oxytocin (OT) is a neurohormone involved early in neurodevelopment and implicated in
multiple functions, including sensory modulation. Evidence of such modulation has been …

Most prior studies of multisensory integration (MSI) in autism have measured MSI in only a
single combination of modalities–typically audiovisual integration. The present study used …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with multiple associated
deficits in both social and cognitive functioning. Diagnosing ASD usually relies on subjective …

Introduction Autistic children may have abnormal sensory perception, emotion dysregulation
and behavior problems. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to explore the relationship …

Recent studies in developmental neuroscience tend to show the existence of neural
attention networks from birth. Their construction is based on the first sensory experiences …

Several theories have been proposed to explain the presentation of intense interests in
autism, including theories based on altered executive functioning, imbalanced reward …

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, where

Objective Infant hypersensitivity affects daily challenges and parental stress. Although the
crucial role of tactile sensation in infant brain function has been highlighted, hypersensitive …

Excessive trial-by-trial and inter-individual neural variability of sensory responses are
hallmarks of atypical sensory processing in autistic individuals with cascading effects on …
