Abstract

Abstract: While exteroceptive sensory processing is a hallmark of autism spectrum disorder, how interoceptive processing may impact and contribute to symptomatology remains unclear. In this comprehensive narrative review on interoception in autism, we discuss: 1) difficulties with assessing interoception; 2) potential interoceptive differences; 3) interactions between neural systems for interoception, attention, sensorimotor processing, and cognition; and 4) potential differences in neural circuits involved in interoception. In general, there are mixed findings on potential interoception differences in autism. Nevertheless, some data indicate differences in integration of interoceptive and exteroceptive information may contribute to autism symptomatology. Neurologically, interoceptive processing in autism may be impacted by potential differences in the development, morphometry, and connectivity of key interoceptive hubs (vagal processing, brainstem, thalamus, insula), though much work is needed on this topic.

Keywords: autism, interoception, insula, brainstem, thalamus, thermosensation

自闭症患者的互感：行为学和神经生物学数据的叙述性回顾

摘要：外感知感觉处理是自闭症谱系障碍的一个特征，而内感知感觉处理如何影响和导致症状，目前仍不清楚。在这篇关于自闭症内感知的综合叙述性综述中，我们讨论了以下问题：1) 评估内感知的困难；2) 潜在的内感知差异；3) 内感知、注意力、感觉运动处理和认知神经系统之间的相互作用；以及 4) 参与内感知的神经回路的潜在差异。总体而言，关于自闭症患者潜在的内感知差异的研究结果不一。然而，一些数据表明，内感知和外感知信息整合方面的差异可能会导致自闭症症状。从神经学角度看，自闭症患者的内感知处理可能会受到关键内感知枢纽（迷走神经处理、脑干、丘脑、岛叶）的发育、形态和连接性的潜在差异的影响，但这一课题还需要做大量的工作。关键词：自闭症；内感知；岛叶；脑干；丘脑；热感觉
