Autism spectrum disorder: neuropathology and animal models.

For: All,

This review explains that autism—including forms linked to 16p11.2 deletions and duplications—is associated with real differences in how brain cells grow and connect, and that studying both human brains and animal models helps families understand the biological roots of behaviors while pointing researchers toward more targeted, biology‑informed supports and future treatments rather than one‑size‑fits‑all approaches.
