Environmental Enrichment as a Treatment for Early Life Inflammation
Environmental enrichment rescues the effects of early life inflammation on markers of synaptic transmission and plasticity. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27002704 Abstract Environmental enrichment (EE) has been successful at rescuing the brain from a variety of early-life psychogenic stressors. However, its ability to reverse … Continue reading

Glutamate and a range of Disorders
Glutamate transporter dysfunction and major mental illnesses http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26793898 Abstract Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and plays an important role in most aspects of normal brain function. In this review, we demonstrate that various kinds … Continue reading
Prenatal Infection , Autism and Treatment Options
Long-term pathological consequences of prenatal infection: Beyond brain disorders. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25924881 Abstract Immune-related prenatal adversities such as maternal infection have been widely acknowledged to contribute to an increased risk of neurodevelopmental brain disorders. In recent years, epidemiological and experimental evidence has … Continue reading
