Familial Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Shows Promise in Treating Autism Symptoms
In a fascinating new case report, researchers, including Steven J. Walker, PhD, documented significant improvements in both gut microbiome composition and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms after familial fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) was performed in an adolescent with ASD.
Naviaux Lab Identifies Metabolic Markers in Newborns in Hopes of Predicting Autism Spectrum Disorder
A team of researchers from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, including Dr. Robert Naviaux, recently used metabolomics to identify markers in newborns that might predict autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
New Connection Discovered Between PTSD and Autism Traits
A recent study published in iScience has revealed a critical link between PTSD-like memory formation and core traits of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
New Research Shows Near-Infrared Light Stimulation Improves Autism Symptoms in Children
A recent study has investigated transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM), a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that delivers near-infrared (NIR) light stimulation to the brain.
Can Parental Psychiatric Disorders Influence the Risk of Autism in Offspring?
In a recent cohort study published in The Lancet Regional Health – Europe, researchers from Sweden and Finland have investigated the potential link between parental psychiatric disorders and the risk of offspring developing autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Cerebral Lactate Levels Higher in Adults with Autism than Neurotypical Controls
New German research has investigated cerebral lactate (Lac+) levels in high-functioning adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) using Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS), targeting the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) as a potential biomarker for mitochondrial dysfunction.
