Neurobiologists have made a breakthrough in understanding how environmental factors might contribute to autism spectrum disorders.
A recent study shows that early neurotransmitter switching—where neurons change their chemical messengers—may lead to lasting autism-like behaviors in mice.
The findings provide new insights into how early disruptions in brain development could affect social and behavioral traits.
The researchers found that the same stimuli that induce ASD in human subjects also do so in mice.
This finding adds to growing evidence that the brain’s wiring is highly sensitive to environmental influences during development.
The researchers plan to continue exploring how other environmental and genetic factors might lead to similar neurotransmitter shifts.
