Table 4 Potential of scene perception disorders based on gene-molecules-cell-loop-behavior mechanism
| Ref. | Level | Key mechanisms | The impact of speculation on scene perception | Level of evidence |
| [9-11] | Gene receptor | Connectivity disorders associated with NMDA receptors and NMDA receptor hypofunction alter predictive coding, recurrent gain, and long-term coordination | Impaired efficient updating of accurate weighting and scenario-based predictions | Imaging genetics + mechanistic review |
| [12,13,29] | Cell oscillations | PV - interneurons defects and abnormal reduces the gamma band suppression time and coordination | Affecting feature binding, context stabilization, and rapid integration of scene elements | Cell-type review + oscillation review |
| [14,15] | Inflammation of glial cells | Microglia and astrocytes abnormalities may interfere with synaptic pruning, inflammation, signaling communication - glial cells and neurons | May disrupt sensory acquisition control and plasticity associated with situational processing | System evaluation |
| [10-15] | Circuit calculation | Predictive coding failure, E/I imbalance, and inflammatory regulation converge at the circuit level | Provides a multi-level interpretation of the partial distribution of quasibut unstable scene interpretation | Integrated interpretation |
| [3,6,16-21,35,36] | Behavior | The scene-sensing phenotype includes impaired gist extraction, weak contextual modulation, abnormal social scene interpretation, and erratic active visual sampling | Defines the observable behavior level and the mechanism of low assumptions involved | Integrated human evidence |
