Background Although it is well recognized that autism is associated with altered patterns of
over-and under-connectivity, specifics are still a matter of debate. Little has been done so far …

Sensory processing, short-term memory, and decision-making often deal with multiple items,
or options, simultaneously. I review evidence suggesting that the brain handles such …

What happens in our brain when we make a decision? What triggers a neuron to send out a
signal? What is the neural code? This textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning …

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are pervasive neurodevelopmental disorders that include
a variety of forms and clinical phenotypes. This heterogeneity complicates the clinical and …

Autism is a severe neurobehavioral syndrome, arising largely as an inherited disorder,
which can arise from several diseases. Despite recent advances in identifying some genes …

Neuronal gamma-band synchronization is found in many cortical areas, is induced by
different stimuli or tasks, and is related to several cognitive capacities. Thus, it appears as if …

Current concepts of sensory processing in the cerebral cortex emphasize serial extraction
and recombination of features in hierarchically structured feed-forward networks in order to …

Completely revised and updated, this book focuses on sensory perceptual problems as
identified by individuals on the autism spectrum. Despite frequently being identified by …

Driven by recent empirical studies, we offer a new understanding of the degrees of freedom
problem, and propose a refined concept of synergy as a neural organization that ensures a …

We survey recent analytical approaches to studying the spatiotemporal dynamics of
continuum neural fields. Neural fields model the large-scale dynamics of spatially structured …
