Sensorimotor integration is the process by which our brain combines sensory information from multiple sources with motor responses to produce coordinated actions. It is critical during early child ...

Sensory overload is often about uncertainty and how long the brain has to stay engaged—especially in autism and ADHD.

People with autism are often portrayed in popular media as experiencing difficulty processing highly stimulating or overly loud environments. While this is certainly true for many, there can be a wide ...

Utilizing optogenetics, researchers at Fujita Health University have selectively deactivated neural pathways with light, revealing new insights into how sensory and motor areas of the mouse brain ...

Sensory processing disorder—also known as SPD or sensory integration disorder—is a term describing a collection of challenges that occur when the senses fail to respond properly to the outside world.

This important study combines optogenetic manipulations and wide-field imaging to show that the retrosplenial cortex controls behavioral responses to whisker deflection in a context-dependent manner.

Sensory overload is the overstimulation of one or more of the body’s five senses. People will respond differently to feeling overstimulated, but symptoms often include anxiety, discomfort, and fear.
