Increased functional activity, bottom-up and intrinsic effective connectivity in autism
Increased functional activity, bottom-up and intrinsic effective connectivity in autism. Sensory perceptual alterations such as sensory sensitivities in autism have been proposed to be caused by differences in sensory observation or in forming models of the environment, which result in an increase in bottom-up information flow relative to top-down control.
