The cerebellum plays a critical role in both motor and non-motor functions, and its dysfunction is linked to various mental disorders, including autism. This study maps the three-dimensional ...

Supplementation of nutrient cocktails containing zinc, branched-chain amino acids and serine improves social interaction in three different mouse genetic models of autism. [Ming-Hui Lin and Tzyy-Nan ...

A new study has found that early treatment with lithium can restore brain function and alleviate behavioral symptoms in mouse models of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) stemming from mutations in the ...

Utilizing large-scale transsynaptic tracing, Cai et al. reconstructed 3D space of 50,168 cerebellar nuclei (CN)-projecting neurons in the thalamus, midbrain, and brainstem. They reveal significant ...

A new mouse model of a genetically-linked type of autism reveals more about the role of genes in the disorder and the underlying brain changes associated with autism's social and learning problems.

Stanford Medicine scientists investigating the neurological underpinnings of autism spectrum disorder have found that hyperactivity in a specific brain region could drive behaviors commonly associated ...

To study the genetic causes of autism spectrum disorder, a Kobe University research team has created a bank of 63 mouse embryonic stem cell lines containing the mutations most strongly associated with ...

A new animal study, published in PLoS Biology, finds that a triple-pronged supplement improves brain connectivity and social behaviour in three different mouse models of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) ...
