On April 2, 2017, the world will celebrate the ninth annual World Autism Awareness Day. In honor of this occasion,Neuroscience Bulletin has put together a Special Issue of reviews and primary research articles focusing on autism spectrum disorder(ASD). ASD is a heterogeneous developmental neurologic...
It was some kind of open secret I had never been in on. And soon, I was a self-diagnosing autism mommy. And I hated it. Here’s where things really go sideways to me: I believe it when autistic people tell me they’re autistic, even if they’re self-diagnosed. If someone is ...
Evaluation of Serum Vitamin D Level as Risk Factor for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Gopen KK Journal of Neuroscience and Neuropsychology Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by deficits in social communication and social interactions, as well as restricted, repetitive patterns of...
Autism is a highly heritable complex disorder in which de novo mutation (DNM) variation contributes significantly to risk. Using whole-genome sequencing data from 3,474 families, we investigate another source of large-effect risk variation, ultra-rare va
autism, and other multi-system diseases [216,217]. Since most respiratory diseases involve inflammation and oxidative reactions, developing more natural products as Nrf2/Keap1 pathway inducers for lung disease treatment is promising. This approach offers a new perspective for future research on natural...
Sleep-related movement disorders (SRMDs), such as restless legs syndrome (RLS) and periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD), are common in pediatric sleep practice. There is increasing literature on RLS, PLMD, and a newly described sleep disorder called “restless sleep disorder (RSD)”. We aime...

Polygenic scores (PGS) can be used for risk stratification by quantifying individuals’ genetic predisposition to disease, and many potentially clinically useful applications have been proposed. Here, we review the latest potential benefits of PGS in the
