New Theory Of Autism Suggests Symptoms Or Disorder May Be Reversible
Exciting new research from Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University poses the theory that autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in fact is a disorder caused by impaired regulation of the locus coeruleus. Locus coeruleus is a bundle of neurons in the brain stem that processes sensory signals from all areas of the body. And the researchers state several findings that support this theory.
And in the ascpect of treatment, who of course is the point of discorvering causions, the researchers state:
“the future of autism treatment probably lies in drugs that selectively target certain types of noradrenergic brain receptors or, more likely, in epigenetic therapies targeting genes of the LC-NA system.”
But it’s probably some time into the future….
