Slower Binocular Rivalry in the Autistic Brain (Current Biology)

Robertson et al. report that a basic visual phenomenon, binocular rivalry, is altered in the autistic brain. This result firmly implicates the visual cortex in the neurobiology of autism and may reflect an imbalance in E/I neurotransmission. As a non-verbal paradigm, this marker of autism may be suitable for future infant and cross-species studies.
