New Treatments For Autism Spectrum Disorder
Living with autism? A new study shows a connection between brain cell function and autism, boosting hope for a cure.
Rutgers Health researchers have found that the disruption of neuron development in the mTOR pathway of the brain leads to varying amounts of a particular molecule. This molecule is essential to neuron development and brain architecture.
Researchers say that new drugs developed to treat this disruption may help with autistic brain function. These drugs can help whether the brain produces too much or too little of this molecule.
