Researchers find gut-brain connection for social development
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
To learn to socialize, zebrafish need to trust their gut. Gut microbes encourage specialized cells to prune back extra connections in brain circuits that control social behaviour, new UO research in zebrafish shows. Pruning is essential for the development of normal social behavior.

Gene that controls early social behaviour may hold key to understanding au
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

Cerebellum contributes to higher cognitive functions: Study
Updated : 3 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington [US], June 19 (ANI): A research study explains how dopamine in the cerebellum modulates social behaviours via its action on D2 receptors (D2R). The cerebellum is essential for but also contributes to higher cognitive functions including social behaviours.
