There has been a large body of research exploring sensory processing deficits in dyslexia, in both the visual and the auditory domains. Recently, there has also been evidence to suggest that dyslexia may be a heterogeneous disorder, with different patterns of dyslexia being identifiable. In this paper, we examine the relationship between these two bodies of research. First, we briefly review th...

The ability to combine information from multiple sensory modalities into a single, unified percept is a key element in an organism's ability to interact with the external world. This process of perceptual fusion, the binding of multiple sensory inputs into a perceptual gestalt, is highly dependent on the temporal synchrony of the sensory inputs. Using fMRI, we identified two anatomically distin...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, as well as repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior. Although most patients with ASD show sensory abnormalities such as hyperesthesia and hypoesthesia, its relation to social cognition has not been well studied. Recently, a salience network (SN) dysfunction hypo...

Autism spectrum disease (ASD) is a nervous disorder. In this children have sensory processing dysfunction and they unable to communicate, interact, showed repetition in behaviours. The present study was designed determine visual impairment frequency with autism disorder (ASD). A descriptive performed Paediatrics Department of Children's Hospital Institute Child Health, Lahore. Data collected si...

depression disorders are associated with serious dysfunction and depressive symptoms. cognitive slowing is a clear symptom observed in all depressed people. pvsat is a measure of cognitive function that specifically assesses visual information processing speed and flexibility, as well as calculation ability. the aim of the present study was to determine whether the paced visual serial addition ...

I. Description Sensory integration (SI) therapy has been proposed as a treatment of developmental disorders in patients with established dysfunction of sensory processing, e.g., children with autism, attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder, brain injuries, fetal alcohol syndrome, and neurotransmitter disease. SI therapy may be offered by occupational and physical therapists who are certified in...

The point of rarity in brain structure and function that separates the 2 major psychotic disorders--schizophrenia and bipolar disorder--is presently unknown. The aim of this study is to combine surface anatomical and functional imaging modalities to quantify the integrity of cortical connectivity in pursuit of the neural basis of the Kraepelinian "line of divide." We tested the hypothesis that ...

Sensory atypicalities are a common feature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To date, the relationship between sensory atypicalities in dyads of children with ASD and their parents has not been investigated. Exploring these relationships can contribute to an understanding of how phenotypic profiles may be inherited, and the extent to which familial factors might contribute towards children's s...
