CONTINUOS MONITORING OF BRAIN NEURONS MADE POSSIBLE @ STANFORD

Travel just one millimeter inside the brain and you’ll be stepping into the dark.

Standard light microscopes don’t allow researchers to look into the interior of the living brain, where memories are formed and diseases such as dementia and cancer can take their toll.

But Stanford scientists have devised a new method that not only lets them peer deep inside the brain to examine its neurons but also allows them to continue monitoring for months.

The technique promises to improve understanding of both the normal biology and diseased states of this hidden tissue.

OXYTOCIN HELPS IN TREATING AUTISM-BIOMEDICAL TREATMENT

Major brain structures implicated in autism.

Oxytocin, a hormone involved in social bonding, may have beneficial effects as a biomedical treatment for individuals with an autism-spectrum disorder (ASD).

Autism typically involves speech/language problems (communication issues), lack of social bonding or interest in peers, repetitive and odd behaviors, and sensory problems (taste, touch, and sound sensitivities). Some ASD individuals have severe anxiety and trust issues. In some cases their anxiety can contribute to aggressive or defensive behavior. The anxiety, particularly socially, can be a hindrance for one-on-one relationships and in group settings. Obviously, aggressive behavior is problematic for everyone involved.
