  1. 1. Autistic-like traits

    Författare :Sebastian Lundström; Malmö Rättspsykiatri; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Autism; twin; genetics; Autistic-like traits;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by restrictions in social interaction, understanding, and communication, by stereotyped patterns of repetitive behaviors, and by narrow interests. ASDs, which affect about 1% of the population, are predominantly genetic, but no single explanation has been found. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Genetic studies of autism and autistic-like traits

    Författare :Lina Jonsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ASD; ALT; Genetics; Melatonin;

    Sammanfattning : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by impairment in social interaction, language impairment and repetitive behavior with varying degrees of severity. ASD represents the lower end on a continuously distributed measure of autistic-like traits (ALTs). LÄS MER

  4. 3. On oxytocin and social behavior

    Författare :Daniel Hovey; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; oxytocin; social cognition; autism; antisocial behavior; zebrafish;

    Sammanfattning : Complex social cognitive processes underlie social behavior. Oxytocin has long been recognized as crucial in social behavior in animals, but its role in regulating human social cognition and behavior is less clear, particularly with regard to endogenous oxytocin. LÄS MER

  5. 4. On Neuroimmunology and Brain Function: Experimental and Clinical Studies

    Författare :Nina Strenn; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; immune system; mental disorders; polymorphisms; depression; autism; bipolar disorder; SSRI; S100B; 5-HTR2A; Flinders sensitive line;

    Sammanfattning : The immune system has been implicated in the mechanisms underlying many psychiatric disorders. Immune mediators are expressed in the central nervous system (CNS) not only in response to harmful stimuli, but also in a constitutive manner, and serve as important plasticity factors during development.

  7. 5. Sex steroids and social behavior: from mouse to human

    Författare :Sara Karlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; social memory; sociability; androgen receptor; sex steroids; genetic variations;

    Sammanfattning : Social behavior is a classification of various behaviors such as sexual behavior, aggressive behavior, social memory and sociability. These behaviors are under the regulation of the brain, and the sex steroids influence important brain regions that control these behaviors in both humans and other animals. LÄS MER
