More about the environmental influences in autism
Manage episode 438802124 series 2491873
New research points to a previously understudied but fascinating mechanism by which environmental factors may lead to autism: it’s called the “GABA/glutamate switch” which is a critical period in development when certain cells turn from turning on cell activity to turning them off. These environmental factors may delay this process leading to long term effects on the developing brain consistent with autism. While this data on the mechanism is brand new, the topic of the environment in autism was inspired by a recent effort at NIEHS which is developing an interactive database for people to access information about what environmental exposures have been studied and how in autism.
