This new study investigated how sensory phenotypes in 146 autistic children and adolescents relate to differences in resting-state functional connectivity. The researchers drew on data from the Province of Ontario Neurodevelopmental Network (POND), which included both resting-state fMRI scans and Short Sensory Profile scores. The researchers found that many sensory phenotypes in autism can be statistically distinguished based on functional connectivity.

This new study investigated sensory differences in adults with Misophonia. The findings suggest that sensory over-responsivity may be a central characteristic of Misophonia. Notably, 80% of participants with misophonia reported heightened sensitivity in at least one sensory modality beyond hearing, with tactile and olfactory sensitivities emerging most frequently.

This recent systematic review investigated vestibular sensory processing in individuals with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (BD). This review highlights unique patterns of vestibular dysfunction in schizophrenia and BD, offering valuable insights for clinical practice and research. Findings suggest that schizophrenia is marked by difficulties in sensory integration and postural control, whereas BD shows mood-dependent vestibular differences, particularly when anxiety is also present.

This new randomised controlled trial consisting of 94 participants aged 6-8 years evaluated the effects of OT–ASI on sensorimotor performance, executive functioning, emotional regulation, and functional participation in children with ADHD. Findings demonstrated that OT–ASI produced significant improvements in sensorimotor and executive function domains, as well as enhanced emotional regulation. Moreover, children receiving OT–ASI exhibited increased participation across home, school, and community contexts, underscoring the intervention’s broad functional impact.
