This Week’s Articles:
- Researchers are investigating how environmental factors, such as exposure to pyrethroid insecticides, may interact with genetic predispositions to increase the risk of ASD.
- A recent meta-analysis highlights that executive function delays—such as difficulties with attention, impulse control, switching focus, planning, organizing, and problem-solving—are common across neurodevelopmental conditions, including ADHD, autism and Tourette’s syndrome.
- A new study has examined the link between prenatal exposure to particulate matter (PM2.5) from specific sources and the risk of ASD in over 300,000 mother-child pairs in southern California.
- Don’t miss this opportunity to explore groundbreaking research on the effects of prenatal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), a common endocrine-disrupting chemical found in plastics, and its potential role in neurodevelopmental disorders like ASD.
