US and German scientists say they have evidence that zinc levels may be one of the defining environmental factors that sew the seeds of autism spectrum disorder
In a new paper published today, US and German scientists say they have evidence that zinc levels may be one of the defining environmental factors
They say zinc levels in neurons work in tandem with genes that encode proteins to sew the seeds for the behavioral disorder
They found zinc shapes the connections or 'synapses' between brain cells that form during early development, via a complex molecular machinery encoded by autism risk genes.
