People with sensory hypersensitivity, prevalent in ASD, exhibit heightened reactivity to sensory stimuli. Research now suggests brain circuits responsible for early sensory processing contribute to the sensitivity.
New research explores the role of brain circuitry supporting sensory reflexes in sensory hypersensitivity, shifting focus from the forebrain to early sensory processing stages.
NIMH-funded study by Chenyu Wang and colleagues investigates how the brain controls the vestibulo-ocular reflex in individuals with the SCN2A mutation associated with ASD.
