Neuroscience & Autism
Scientists are finally understanding what goes wrong in the synapses of autistic brains
Imagine the connections between neurons as crowded airport terminals — when a key protein (Shank3) is mutated, the entire traffic pattern collapses, affecting how signals flow.
This means future treatments for autism and related neurodevelopmental conditions could target these specific molecular breakdowns instead of just managing symptoms.
