Are attention and cognitive control altered by fMRI scanner environment? Evidence from Go/No-go tasks in ADHD

It is widely assumed that cognitive processes studied in fMRI are equivalent to cognitive processes engaged in the same experimental …

Weaker neural suppression in autism

Abnormal sensory processing has been observed in autism, including superior visual motion discrimination, but the neural basis for …

Response dissociation in hierarchical cortical circuits: a unique feature of autism spectrum disorder

A prominent hypothesis regarding the pathophysiology of autism is that an increase in the balance between neural excitation and …

Late fMRI response components are altered in autism spectrum disorder

Disrupted cortical neural inhibition has been hypothesized to be a primary contributor to the pathophysiology of autism spectrum …

Fronto-parietal engagement in response inhibition is inversely scaled with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptom severity

Background: Impaired response inhibition is one of the most consistent findings in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). …

Concentrations of cortical GABA and glutamate in young adults with autism spectrum disorder

The balance of excitation and inhibition in neural circuits is hypothesized to be increased in autism spectrum disorder, possibly …

Glutamatergic facilitation of neural responses in MT enhances motion perception in humans

There is large individual variability in human neural responses and perceptual abilities. The factors that give rise to these …

Sex differences in visual motion processing

The importance of sex as a biological variable has recently been emphasized by major funding organizations and within the neuroscience …

Reduced auditory cortical adaptation in autism spectrum disorder

Adaptation is a fundamental property of cortical neurons and has been suggested to be altered in individuals with autism spectrum …

Isolating response inhibition in the brain: Parietal versus frontal contribution

Response inhibition is a main function of cognitive control and its neural substrates have been studied extensively. However, it is …

Computerized progressive attention training (CPAT) vs. active control in adults with ADHD

Higher education students with ADHD cope with various academic obstacles such as difficulty to sustain attention while studying and …

Attention functioning among adolescents with multiple learning, attentional, behavioral, and emotional difficulties

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by high levels of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity; …
