SUMMARY:Perceptual decision-making in autism: From neurochemistry to cogni

DESCRIPTION:Our brains evaluate sensory information from the environment a
 nd use it to guide behaviour. This shapes how we interact with the world a
 nd ultimately\, our physical and mental well-being. Understanding the mech
 anisms of perceptual decision-making is of relevance for neurodiverse popu
 lations such as autistic individuals. Here I present findings from experim
 ental psychology\,  computational modelling\, and brain imaging (including
  ultra-high-resolution Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy) that show a) the b
 ehavioural similarities and differences between autistic and non-autistic 
 adults during perceptual decision-making\, and b) the relationships betwee
 n neurotransmitters\, autistic traits\, and perceptual choice in adults. B
 y integrating novel computational modelling approaches with classic task p
 aradigms\, this line of research helps bridge the gaps between neurochemis
 try and cognition and offers new insights into the cognitive neuroscience 
 of autism.\n\n
