Although autism is a common neurodevelopmental disorder, the multiple factors behind its onset are still not fully understood. Animal models of idiopathic autism, especially mice, are often used to ...

The complex mechanisms that underlie the onset of autism (autism spectrum disorders; ASD) are not fully understood, and researchers studying the neurodevelopmental disorder commonly use ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have uncovered new insights into the mechanisms underlying autism spectrum disorder (ASD ...

In this special episode of The Highlights, we interview Chino Eke ’22, a recent alum of the neuroscience department. We discuss his senior thesis research, which was completed under the guidance of ...

Researchers from the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan have shown in mouse models that idiopathic autism could be caused by epigenetic abnormalities in hematopoietic cells during fetal ...

A low-dose mix of zinc, serine, and branched-chain amino acids boosted neural function and social behavior in autism mouse models. The combination restored more typical synaptic protein patterns and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Damage to the autism-associated gene Dyrk1a, sets off a cascade of problems in developing mouse brains, resulting in abnormal growth-factor signaling, undergrowth of neurons, smaller-than-average ...
