The cerebellum plays a critical role in both motor and non-motor functions, and its dysfunction is linked to various mental disorders, including autism. This study maps the three-dimensional ...

Supplementation of nutrient cocktails containing zinc, branched-chain amino acids and serine improves social interaction in three different mouse genetic models of autism. [Ming-Hui Lin and Tzyy-Nan ...

Scientists at Stanford may have discovered a breakthrough in determining the cause of Autism. In a study of mice with Autism, the brain cells were not damaged but had trouble communicating with one ...

A new study has found that early treatment with lithium can restore brain function and alleviate behavioral symptoms in mouse models of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) stemming from mutations in the ...

While the definitive causes remain unclear, several genetic and environmental factors increase the likelihood of autism spectrum disorder, or ASD, a group of conditions covering a "spectrum" of ...

Recent transcriptomic studies indicated a connection between neuroinflammation, changes in neuroimmune responses, and the development of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The microglial calcium-binding ...

To study the genetic causes of autism spectrum disorder, a Kobe University research team has created a bank of 63 mouse embryonic stem cell lines containing the mutations most strongly associated with ...

Utilizing large-scale transsynaptic tracing, Cai et al. reconstructed 3D space of 50,168 cerebellar nuclei (CN)-projecting neurons in the thalamus, midbrain, and brainstem. They reveal significant ...

While modern testing for autism isn’t flawless, it can encourage early detection. This can mean better support for autistic kids. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a group of neurodevelopmental ...
