There is medicine for autism

The prospect of producing autism treatment was raised after experimenting on mice with good results.

According to the US National Institutes of Health's test results, after using a new drug, mice thought to have autism in humans increased their social skills and reduced repetitive behavior. again.

There is evidence that the possibility of autism is related to the way cells in the brain communicate with each other at synapses (the space between the two cells). US scientists tested GRN-529, which interferes with chemical glutamate, helping two brain cells 'talk' to each other.

After being vaccinated with GRN-529 , autistic mice (less socially active, less communicating with other mice, constantly licking their hair .) spend less time on hair licking and improving social levels.

Dr. Jacqueline Crawley, working at the National Institute of Mental Health (USA), said: 'In the context of autism causes many costs both in money and emotion, for families, schools and systems. Medical system, we hope that such studies can meet the need to find the main symptom cure '.

It is known that autism affects about 1% of children in the world, with mild to severe symptoms such as difficulty interacting with others, slow speaking, there are repetitive actions such as hand typing . Hypothesis For that reason, the brain is related.
