Although sensory processing challenges have been noted since the first clinical descriptions
of autism, it has taken until the release of the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical …

Olfaction is an important sensory modality for many species and greatly influences animal
and human behavior. Still, much about olfactory perception remains unknown. The anterior …

Internal action models (IAMs) are brain templates for sensory-motor coordination underlying
diverse behaviors [1]. An emerging theory suggests that impaired IAMs are a common theme …

Background People with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) report heightened olfaction.
Previous sensory experiments in people with ASC have reported hypersensitivity across …

The aim of our study was to examine odor detection thresholds and odor identification in
autistic subjects. Thirty-five patients with Asperger's syndrome and high functioning autism …

Olfactory dysfunction is recognized in neurodevelopmental disorders and may serve as an
early indicator of global dysfunction. The present meta-analysis measures olfaction effect …

Olfactory function is a well-known early biomarker for neurodegeneration and neural
functioning in the adult population, being supported by a number of brain structures that …

Current standards and guidelines on indoor environmental criteria contain very little
information regarding people with special needs. This study provides a scoping review of …

Recent studies have suggested that individuals who exhibit heightened sensitivity also
exhibit higher rates and severity of restricted interests and repetitive behaviours. This line of …

Olfaction and gustation are major sensory functions implied in processing environmental
stimuli. Some evidences suggest that loss of olfactory function is an early biomarker for …
