Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
This study helps us understand at the molecular level why sociability is disrupted during the very earliest stages of life. "It also gives us an opportunity to explore potential treatments that could restore sociability in these animals and, perhaps in time, eventually in humans as well.

Study finds brain changes in autism are far more sweeping than previously
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
The study, published today in Nature, represents a comprehensive effort to characterize ASD at the molecular level. While neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease have well-defined pathologies, autism and other psychiatric disorders have had a lack of defining p

Researchers uncover brain waves related to social behaviour
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Researchers have discovered electrical brain-wave patterns given off during social interactions in mice. They also observed that mice showing signs of stress, depression, or autism lacked these brain waves. The results reveal more about the mechanisms underlying brain activity when socializi

Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 6 (ANI): Researchers found that in any case, the seed-sized organoids, which are generated in the lab from human cells, give insights into the brain and reveal variations that may lead to autism in some people. They also advised not to call them "mini-brains in recen
