Fig. 1: Structure of the ascending pathway and E/I networks in the somatosensory system.
From: Sensory abnormalities in autism spectrum disorder and their in vitro modeling

Schematic representation of the ascending pathway transmitting touch or pain information from peripheral mechanoreceptors to the primary somatosensory cortex (S1). The regions where the E/I balance is established are highlighted (black: excitatory, red: inhibitory) [68,69,70, 108, 114, 129,130,131,132]. Created with BioRender.com.
