1. 1. A Possible World: Autism from Practice to Theory

   Författare :Petra Zücker Björne; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychopedagogy; Utvecklingspsykologi; Development psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; pedagogical intervention; categorization; context; sensorimotor disturbances; autism; developmental theory; Pedagogisk psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : Persons with autism develop along trajectories that differ from the typical. Therefore, development itself gives important clues for understanding the behavioral profile characteristic of autism. Developing autism means being different, not necessarily being deficient. LÄS MER

3. 2. 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.

4. 3. A Multimodal Approach toward the Biological Categorization of Autism - Development of Theoretical Models, Classification Methods, and Biomarkers

   Författare :Darko Sarovic; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Autism; Classification; Biomarker; Theoretical Framework; Magnetoencephalography; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Morphometry;

   Sammanfattning : Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is an umbrella term for a group of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) which are behaviorally defined by the presence of difficulties with social communication, and behavioral rigidity and repetitiveness, including sensory disturbances. The overarching aim of this thesis was to improve the categorization of autism through the development of a theoretical framework and a multivariable classification method, and identify biomarkers which together would aid in the understanding of autism and be used in ASD classification.

5. 4. On the influence of serotonin- and sex steroid-related genetic variation on mood, anxiety, personality, autism and transsexualism

   Författare :Susanne Henningsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :serotonin; 5-HTTLPR; TPH2; 5-HT3; sex steroids; androgen receptor; estrogen receptor; genetics; gene-gene interaction; social phobia; anxiety; premenstrual dysphoric disorder; depression; personality; autism; transsexualism; amygdala; emotional perception; life events;

   Sammanfattning : Background: The neurotransmitter serotonin has been related to mood and anxiety, and variation in genes that encode important members of the serotonergic system may hence affect mood- and anxiety-related traits. Sex steroids influence brain development, and variation in genes encoding androgen and estrogen receptors, or enzymes needed for sex steroid synthesis, may be of importance for both personality traits and risk for psychiatric disorders.

7. 5. Autism spectrum disorder beyond the extreme male brain

   Författare :Jonna Eriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an umbrella-term for neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by both impairments in communication and social interaction and unusually restricted and repetitive or stereotyped interests and behaviors. Although proven to have a strong genetic etiology, the full biological background of ASD remains unclear. LÄS MER
