Springer - The Neurochemical Basis of Autism Book

Explore the complex biological foundations of autism with this specialized text from Springer. As researchers recognize that autism may involve various subsets of affected individuals, understanding the different etiologies becomes more important than ever. While many studies focus on genetics and neuroimaging, this work addresses the gap in research regarding the neurochemical basis of the disorder. This book examines the essential neural substrates and key biomarkers that help explain the mechanistic basis of autism. By looking at alterations in molecules, proteins, receptors, and synaptic elements, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the biological processes involved. It is an important resource for those looking to move beyond traditional genetic studies to understand the chemical components that may underlie these conditions.
