Relationship Between Directly Observed Sensory Reactivity Differences and Classroom Behaviors of Autistic Children
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Results suggest a link between sensory reactivity differences and classroom behaviors, highlighting a need for further research using observational measures in special education settings. Plain-Language Summary: Differences in hyporeactivity for children with autism may play a bigger role in classroom behavior and learning than previous literature has suggested. This has implications in occupational therapy practice for how to tailor support for children with hyporeactivity differences.PMID:38602860 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2024.050345 (Source: The American Journal of Occupational Therapy)

Neurofeedback training of executive function in autism spectrum disorder: distinct effects on brain activity levels and compensatory connectivity changes
ConclusionsNeurofeedback seems to induce a higher between-group similarity of the whole-brain activity levels (including the target ROI) which might be promoted by changes in connectivity between the DLPFC and both high and low-level areas, including motor, visual and MDN regions.

Metaverse in Mental Health: The Beginning of a Long History
AbstractPurpose of ReviewWe review the first pilot studies applying metaverse-related technologies in psychiatric patients and discuss the rationale for using this complex federation of technologies to treat mental diseases. Concerning previous virtual-reality applications in medical care, metaverse technologies provide the unique opportunity to define, control, and shape virtual scenarios shared by multi-users to exploit the “synchronized brains” potential exacerbated by social interactions.Recent FindingsThe application of an avatar-based sexual therapy program conducted on a metaverse platform has been demonstrated ...

Postural control before and after transitional locomotor tasks in children on the autism spectrum: A case-control study
Autistic children show increased postural sway before and after transitional locomotor tasks compared to typically developing children.The trial was prospectively registered in the Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (no. ACTRN12621001113842; date registered: 23.08.2021). (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Manipulation of α4βδ GABA < sub > A < /sub > receptors alters synaptic pruning in layer 3 prelimbic prefrontal cortex and impairs temporal order recognition: Implications for schizophrenia and autism
Brain Res. 2024 Apr 8:148929. doi: 10.1016/j.brainres.2024.148929. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTemporal order memory is impaired in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia (SCZ). These disorders, more prevalent in males, result in abnormal dendritic spine pruning during adolescence in layer 3 (L3) medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), yielding either too many (ASD) or too few (SCZ) spines. Here we tested whether altering spine density in neural circuits including the mPFC could be associated with impaired temporal order memory in male mice. We have shown that α4βδ GABAA receptors (GABARs) emerge at puberty on spin...
