Autism Linked to Oxytocin Signaling Pathway in Mouse Model
A research team led by Peter Scheiffele at the University of Basel revealed a new association between a genetic mutation and autism, a disorder that affects approximately 1 in 54 children in the United States. The team’s research, recently published in Nature, discovered a link between the neuroligin-3 (Nlgn3) gene and the oxytocin signaling pathway
