Breakthrough in autism: New treatment dramatically improves social skills and brain function

The researchers anticipate that the success of the study will have positive implications for clinical treatment. The treatment caused neurological changes, including a decrease in inflammation and an increase in functionality, according to the researchers. A recent study from Tel Aviv University found that pressure chamber therapy significantly improved social skills and brain status in …

Gene mutation leading to autism found to overstimulate brain cells – Neuroscience News

Summary: A gene associated with autism overstimulates brain cells significantly more in neurons without mutation. Source: Rutgers University Scientists seeking to understand the basic brain mechanisms of autism spectrum disorder have discovered that a genetic mutation known to be associated with the disorder causes brain cells to be overstimulated far greater than that seen in …
