Caption: Changes to a mother’s microbiome after infection and the consequent immune response involving the molecule IL-17a can both lead to autism-like behavioral symptoms in her offspring, and can postnatally impact a newborn’s immune system potentially leading to an inflammatory response to inf...
"There is no one way of doing well, but these findings open up a new avenue of research to assess what types of specific interventions, such as providing more income resources or alternative treatment planning for families at an earlier stage of development, may help increase the likelihood tha...
“Neurotransmitter switching can change the assembly of the nervous system and have a profound impact downstream,” said Spitzer. The researchers say the new results are consistent with other evidence that altering signaling in the nervous system during the early stages of development can later carry ...
Quinn, an autistic boy, and the line of toys he made before falling asleep. Repeatedly stacking or lining up objects is a behavior commonly associated with autism. Credit: Wikipedia. New light has been shed on the genetic relationship between autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) and ASD-related tr...
According to news originating from Jupiter, Florida, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "A significant proportion of autism risk genes regulate synapse function, including plasticity, which is believed to contribute to behavioral abnormalities. However, it remains unclear how impaired synapse ...
The results, published this week in the journal Nature, stem from research led by the University of North Carolina to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure the brains of "low-risk" infants, with no family history of autism, and "high-risk" infants who had at least one autistic...

Until now, only a few ASD genes had been confirmed in animal models. Researchers think the study could help people to find out the causes of the disease and develop new drugs. The research was published in the international journal Cell Reports earlier this month....
Based upon the recent research on autism and video games, we’ve developed some simple, common-sense strategies useful for parents of children with autism and ADHD concerned about their children’s video game use: l.) Set limits.Recognize as early as possible that clear limits need to be set...
This research study was built upon findings in neuroscience of the brain's natural ability to physically change itself through cognitive modifiability by creating new pathways and neural connections. The purpose of the research was to investigate instructional music applications for improvement in basic ...
