Thus, pharmacological modulation of the excitation/inhibition in healthy individuals leads to similar brain patterns as seen in autism.

Imaging and recording technologies make it possible to map multiple biological features of the brain. How can these features be conceptually integrated into a coherent understanding of brain structure and function? ⤵️
