概括
患有自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 和神经发育回归 (NDR) 的儿童表现出独特的线粒体功能障碍. 针对线粒体健康的早期识别和干预可能会在有风险的儿童中预防NDR.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 遗传学 遗传学 是一个
- 生物化学 生物化学
背景情况:
- 自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 与生理异常有关,包括线粒体功能障碍.
- 线粒体功能障碍可能与患有神经发育回归 (NDR) 的ASD儿童的一个子集有关.
- 自闭症的细胞模型揭示了对生理压力敏感的线粒体呼吸率升高,反映了自闭症与NDR的特征.
研究的目的:
- 调查ASD儿童的线粒体呼吸模式,有或没有NDR史的儿童.
- 为了比较ASD个体及其家庭成员 (父母,兄弟姐妹) 的线粒体功能.
- 探索在ASD中线粒体功能障碍的潜在遗传性和早期标志物.
主要方法:
- 线粒体呼吸在26名没有NDR (ASD-NoNDR) 的ASD儿童和15名具有NDR (ASD-NDR) 的ASD儿童的外周血液单核细胞 (PBMC) 中测量.
- 在分析之前,PBMCs使用2,3-dimethoxy-1,4-napthoquinone进行了生理应激.
- 参与者包括来自34个家庭的父母和典型发育 (TD) 兄弟姐妹.
主要成果:
- 与ASD-NDR儿童相比,ASD-NDR儿童表现出更高的线粒体呼吸率和对生理压力的敏感性增加.
- ASD-NDR儿童父母的线粒体呼吸模式与他们的孩子相似,这表明潜在的遗传因素.

Neural Regulation
39.4K
Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
67
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Brain Waves
1.3K
Brain waves are electrical signals generated by the neurons in the brain, which are regularly monitored to measure mental activities. Brain waves and their frequency ranges can be measured using an electroencephalogram or EEG. There are four main types of brain waves, each with distinct characteristics:
