Autism: Integrating Genes, Brain and Behavior
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has become increasingly clear that the diverse developmental symptoms associated with autism spectrum disorders are a complex product of biological determinants and environmental factors. Accordingly, efforts to promptly identify autistic individuals and provide treatments that can improve their quality of life will require a concerted effort from experts working in diverse areas of basic and clinical research.

P127: The Role of Genes in ASD
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous group of neurological disorders that is determined solely by their behavior. In this disease, a large part of the neurological disorder and neural controls disorder are observed. Researchers believe that over expressions changes in many genes are the cause of autism. Our goal is to investigate the genetic factors affecting ASD and its treatment ...
متن کاملOxytocin improves autistic-like behaviors induced by maternal deprivation in female rats
Background and Objective: Maternal deprivation as an early life negative experience can lead to enduring disorders such as autism-like behaviors by affecting brain development. Oxytocinergic system alters in the process of maternal deprivation, on the other hand the positive effect of oxytocin on the improvement of social behavior and stereotyped behavior in autism disorder has been shown. In t...

Introduction: A neurodevelopmental disorder, autism typically identified with three primary behavioral consequences, such as social impairment, communication problems and limited or stereotypical behavior. Because of its co-morbidity and lack of therapeutic options, autism is a global economic burden. A short chain of fatty acid, propionic acid formed biologically by gut microbiome. Propionic a...
متن کاملBehavioral phenotypes of genetic mouse models of autism.
More than a hundred de novo single gene mutations and copy-number variants have been implicated in autism, each occurring in a small subset of cases. Mutant mouse models with syntenic mutations offer research tools to gain an understanding of the role of each gene in modulating biological and behavioral phenotypes relevant to autism. Knockout, knockin and transgenic mice incorporating risk gene...
