This study is about measuring aluminium in brain tissue from donors who died with a diagnosis of ASD and examining the location of aluminium in these tissues.
In this study, the authors hypothesized that microplastic exposure may be a risk factor for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). To test this hypothesis, they used mouse models to examine the accumulation of polyethylene (PE) in the brains of mice and assess the behavioral effects at different life stages. They found that exposure to PE lead…
The present study found that there were a large number of significantly differentially expressed genes in both the frontal cortex and amygdala of mice exposed in their early life to low-dose penicillin (LDP). There were also significant changes in gene expression in both the frontal cortex and amygdala in mice exposed to LDP. Additionally, there…
The authors conducted a questionnaire using two independent samples of children from south China and north China. The parents received a questionnaire, which asked questions regarding the general conditions of the children, parents’ maternal pregnant and prenatal conditions, the child’s development, history of diseases, medications, history of pregnancy and prenatal exposure to adverse events, history…
Overall, the article compiles various lines of evidence probing the safety of acetaminophen for neurodevelopment. The article takes into account the view that the body’s ability to tolerate acetaminophen is profoundly impaired by a condition called “oxidative stress.” As the authors point out, a wide range of factors, including antibiotic use, infections, and exposure to…
