“We investigated if specific sets of genes were involved in the development of multiple disorders, which genes are not only related to say, ADHD, but also to the other four psychiatric disorders. Mounting evidence shows genetic overlap between multiple psychiatric disorders.

Behavioral studies show perceptual overstability in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the neural mechanisms by which such sensory symptoms can coexist and often correlate with seemingly separate core symptoms remain unknown. Here, we have identified such a key neuroanatomical substrate. We have revealed that overstable sensory perception of individuals with ASD is linked with their… Continuar lendo A Neuroanatomical Substrate Linking Perceptual Stability to Cognitive Rigidity in Autism.
