Many gene variants have been linked to autism, but how do these subtle changes alter the brain, and ultimately, behavior? Using a blend of brain imaging and genetic detective work, scientists at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine and Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior are ...
Autism spectrum disorder or autism for short is a fairly common neurodevelopmental disorder. According to a 2012 epidemiological study, it is estimated that autism has a median global prevalence of 0.17%.Answer and Explanation: In a very general sense, many individuals with autism possess 23 pairs...
The imprinted brain theory proposes that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) represents a paternal bias in the expression of imprinted genes. This is reflected in a preference for mechanistic cognition and in the corresponding mentalistic deficits symptomatic of ASD. Psychotic spectrum disorder (PSD) would...

To further complicate matters, some of these genes contribute to more than one disorder. One such gene, known as Shank3, has been linked to both autism and schizophrenia. MIT neuroscientists have now shed some light on how a single gene can play a role in more than one disease. In a st...
Two studies were conducted to better understand how children with intellectual disabilities (ID) empathize with the feelings of others during social intera
How are genes involved in embryonic development? How do male-mediated teratogens affect prenatal development? How is autism spectrum disorder hereditary in families? How does lead affect embryonic development? As identical twins age what happens to their epigenomes?
to trigger a fourfold increase in brain levels of IL-6, the inflammatory cytokine most closely linked to autism. 9. 自闭症患者大脑中的铝含量较高。 9. Aluminum being found in elevated levels in the brains of autistic individuals.例如:For example: ...
Many cellular IRESs are activated upon stress, whereas some are required in regular physiological conditions. Cellular IRESs tend to integrate or interact with RNA chaperones, upstream open reading frames and/or G-quadruplex structures for function. The initiation factor eIF3 can have a specialized ...
