Reduced GABAergic action in the autistic brain
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 …

Foetal oestrogens and autism
Elevated latent prenatal steroidogenic activity has been found in the amniotic fluid of autistic
boys, based on measuring prenatal androgens and other steroid hormones. To date, it is …

High‐dose Vitamin B6 supplementation reduces anxiety and strengthens visual surround suppression
Abstract Objective Vitamins B6 and B12 are involved in metabolic processes that decrease
neural excitation and increase inhibition. This double‐blind study investigated the effects of …

GABAB receptor modulation of visual sensory processing in adults with and without autism spectrum disorder
Sensory atypicalities in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are thought to arise at least partly
from differences in γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor function. However, the evidence to …

Long-term priors influence visual perception through recruitment of long-range feedback
Perception results from the interplay of sensory input and prior knowledge. Despite
behavioral evidence that long-term priors powerfully shape perception, the neural …

Measuring neural excitation and inhibition in autism: Different approaches, different findings and different interpretations
The balance of neural excitation and inhibition (E/I balance) is often hypothesised to be
altered in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). One widely held view is that excitation levels are …
