Lifelong Sulforaphane Intake Shows Promise in Improving Autism-Related Behaviors and Brain Chemistry in Mouse Model
A new study in a mouse model of autism spectrum disorders suggests that lifelong dietary sulforaphane intake may reduce behavioral symptoms and brain inflammation, with differences observed between males and females.
Black Mulberry Extract Shows Promise in Reducing Autistic-Like Behaviors in Mouse Model
A study suggests black mulberry extract may reduce autistic-like behaviors in mice by lowering neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, offering a potential avenue for ASD research.
Shank3 Gene Mutation Alters Sleepiness-Related Brain Activity Across Development in Mice
A mutation in the autism-linked gene Shank3 disrupts normal brain responses to sleepiness across development in mice, potentially explaining sleep difficulties in autism.
Heavy Metals and Environmental Factors Linked to Neurological Disorders Across Lifespan
New research highlights how environmental exposures, including heavy metals, may influence neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders by disrupting brain processes across the lifespan.
Early Oxidative Stress May Drive Persistent Neuroinflammation in Autism Spectrum Disorder
A new study indicates that oxidative stress present at birth may trigger persistent immune activation and neuroinflammation in autism spectrum disorder, highlighting early antioxidant intervention as a potential therapeutic strategy.
