Pharmacological Treatments for Autism Spectrum Disorder: Will Emerging Approaches Yield New Treatments?Neuropsychopharmacology, the official publication of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, publishing the highest quality original research and advancing our understanding of the brain and behavior....
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder with a high prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Tremendous progress in understanding the pathogenesis of TSC has been made in recent years, along with initial trials of medical treatment aimed specifically at the underlying mechanism ...
Dr. Barak: “The medical causes of autism are numerous and varied, and ultimately create the diverse autistic spectrum with which we are familiar. About 20 percent of autistic cases today are explained by genetic causes, that is, those involving genetic defects, but not necessarily ones tha...

Better recognition of subpopulations of the disorder, the pres- ence of co-morbidity (e.g., sleep disturbance and autism spectrum disorders), and need to address the disorder throughout the life span have helped refine the diagnos- tic process. The search for improved treatments for ADHD ...
The results, published in the journalNature,give researchers a better understanding ofautism spectrum disorderand are a first step toward finding treatments for the condition. “Much effort in the field is dedicated to understanding whether commonalities exist among the many risk genes associa...
that occur between birth and the presentation ofautism spectrum disorder(ASD) later in childhood. The researchers discovered that a small number of biochemical pathways are responsible for the majority of these changes, which could help inform new early detection and prevention strategies for autism. ...
The study of neurophysiological approaches together with rare and common risk factors for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) allows elucidating the specific un
The Possibility of Prevention Ideally, interventions would be applied based upon the earliest deviation from mental health, so that later impair- ment never manifests and symptoms never become a 'disorder.' Such preventive treatments could even be applied based not upon symptoms themselves but upon ...
