Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition, and little is known about its
neurobiology. Much of autism research has focused on the social, communication and …

There have been numerous attempts to explain the enigma of autism, but existing
neurocognitive theories often provide merely a refined description of 1 cluster of symptoms …

An imbalance between excitatory/inhibitory neurotransmission has been posited as a central
characteristic of the neurobiology of autism [1], inspired in part by the striking prevalence of …

Sensory abnormalities are commonly recognized as diagnostic criteria in autism spectrum
disorder (ASD), as reported in the last edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of …

Although autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized
by social impairments, patients with ASD frequently manifest atypical sensory behaviors …

Many tasks used to study decision-making encourage subjects to integrate evidence over
time. Such tasks are useful to understand how the brain operates on multiple samples of …

An imbalance between cortical excitation and inhibition is a central component of many
models of autistic neurobiology. We tested a potential behavioral footprint of this proposed …

Visual perception in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is often debated in
terms of enhanced local and impaired global perception. Deficits in global motion perception …

Individuals with autism are often characterized as 'seeing the trees, but not the forest'—
attuned to individual details in the visual world at the expense of the global percept they …

The balance of excitation and inhibition in neural circuits is hypothesized to be increased in
autism spectrum disorder, possibly mediated by altered signaling of the inhibitory …
