Is autism caused by early hyperactivity of brain-derived neurotrophic factor?

Medical hypotheses - 1 Jan 2005

Tsai Shih-Jen

Abstract excerpt

Autism, a childhood-onset neurodevelopmental disorder, is characterized by disturbances in socialization and language skills, as well as in perception. Several studies indicate the importance of both genetic and environmental factors in the development of idiopathic autism, but the underlying pathogenesis of this disorder is still unknown. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is important for normal neuronal...
