US scientists close getting to the answer to the question of what causes autism. They found that victims of this disorder there is too many synapses of the brain.
Treatment of Autism
Cerebral synapse is a special type cell-cell contact between the neuron and the target cell. It is through synapses in the human brain made important connections between neurons, without we can not live a normal life. However, an excessive amount of these bonds may result in limiting normal brain processes that It is usually seen in the middle and old age, when more than half synapses disappears. In children, this phenomenon becomes a cause of
autism It is thought of Columbia University.
Treatment of Autism
Their discovery is an important step in the way of widespread understanding of the developmental disorder. Theoretically, it creates the preconditions for the creation of new methods
treatment of autism . Experiments on mice genetically engineered to the presence of typical autistic symptoms have shown high efficiency use drugs rapamycin suppresses the immune system in patients after organ transplantation. With regular use of rapamycin autistic behavior in mice was shown significantly less.
But now science has the ability to use other types of therapy aimed at reducing number of synapses in the brain. It is believed that the cause of development autism It is a whole combination genetic and environmental factors that affect the brain. (READ CONT)
