When Kids’ Autistic Brains Can’t Calm Down

A new study sheds light on why some children with ASD also have epilepsy. Researchers report the catnap2 mutation, associated with autism, does not allow inhibitory neurons to correctly form and this can lead to an increased risk of seizures.

Autism May Reflect Excitation-Inhibition Imbalance in Brain

Reducing the excitation-inhibition ratio by diminishing excitability of pyramidal neurons or increasing excitability of PV neurons led mice to spend more time engaged in social encounters. Researchers believe the excitation-inhibition balance may play a key role in autism and normal social behavior.
