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

Objective: The current article discusses recent literature on perceptual processing in autism
and aims to provide a critical review of existing theories of autistic perception and …

Background: Abnormal responses to tactile stimuli are a common feature of autism spectrum
disorder (ASD). Several lines of evidence suggest that GABAergic function, which has a …

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 …

Background Understanding the development of the neuronal circuitry underlying autism
spectrum disorder (ASD) is critical to shed light into its etiology and for the development of …

Binocular rivalry is a classic experimental tool to probe the neural machinery of perceptual
awareness. During rivalry, perception alternates between the two eyes, and the ebb and …

Autism has traditionally been regarded as a disorder of the social brain. Recent reports of
differences in visual perception have challenged this notion, but little evidence for altered …

To date, neuroimaging research has had a limited focus on non-social features of autism. As
a result, neurobiological explanations for atypical sensory perception in autism are lacking …

Autism impacts a wide range of behaviors and neural functions. As such, theories of autism
spectrum disorder (ASD) are numerous and span different levels of description, from …

Ambiguous images elicit bistable perception, wherein periods of momentary perceptual
stability are interrupted by sudden perceptual switches. When intermittently presented …
