Some University of Minnesota researchers are advocating for the increased use of mouse models to provide insight into the biology of autism. The findings of a study published last month shed light on ...

New research provides a potential brain-based explanation for social touch aversion in some forms of autism. A study published in Nature Communications finds that in a mouse model of Fragile X ...

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jake Litvag leaned in for a closer look as a lab mouse scurried around an enclosure, stopping to sniff a large block. “Hi, Jakob 1. I’m Jake,” the 16-year-old said, naming ...

In mice, autism symptoms arise when a certain pair of competing nerve proteins falls out of equilibrium, according to a study published April 1 in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Dongdong ...

The ASTN2 mice traveled a significantly longer distance than the other mice, and engaged in repetitive behaviors, such as circling in place, 40% more. Both hyperactivity and repetitive behaviors ...

New research reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has shown that in a mouse model, deleting ASTN2 expression can cause autism symptoms in mice; these mice are not ...

The work entitled " Aberrant outputs of cerebellar nuclei and targeted rescue of social deficits in an autism mouse model" was published on Protein & Cell (published on Jul. 27, 2024).

This study investigates the structural and functional alterations in cerebellar outputs in an autism mouse model (Nlgn3R451C). The researchers used large-scale circuit tracing to map the ...
