Neural signals evoked by stimuli of increasing social scene complexity are detectable at the single-trial level and right lateralized. by Carlos P Amaral, Marco A Simões, Miguel S Castelo-Branco

“…Here we investigated the neurophysiological correlates of conditions of increasing social scene complexity using 3D human models as targets of attention, which may also be important in autism research. Challenging single-trial statistical classification of EEG neural signals was attempted for detection of oddball stimuli with increasing social scene complexity. …”

The Parvalbumin Hypothesis of Autism Spectrum Disorder by Federica Filice, Lucia Janickova, Thomas Henzi, Alessandro Bilella, Beat Schwaller

“…This has led to the suggestion that a large part of the ASD phenotype is caused by changes in a few and common set of signaling pathways, the identification of which is a fundamental aim of autism research. Using advanced bioinformatics tools and the abundantly available genetic data, it is possible to classify the large number of ASD-associated genes according to cellular function and pathways. …”

Research-Based Intervention (RBI) for Autism Spectrum Disorder: Looking beyond Traditional Models and Outcome Measures for Clinical Trials by Antonio Narzisi, Yurena Alonso-Esteban, Gabriele Masi, Francisco Alcantud-Marín

“…A strong effort to improve the methodology of clinical trials is mandatory for the future of autism research. The development of a research-based intervention (RBI) perspective aimed at better integrating: (a) evidence-based approaches; (b) more sensitive behavioral outcome measures; and (c) biomarkers, with the aim of increasing a more detailed clustering of phenotypes, may strongly improve our approach to a precision medicine.…”

Novel maternal autoantibodies in autism spectrum disorder: Implications for screening and diagnosis by Rut Mazón-Cabrera, Jori Liesenborgs, Bert Brône, Patrick Vandormael, Veerle Somers

“…This study aims to identify novel maternal autoantibodies reactive against human fetal brain antigens, and explore their use as biomarkers for ASD screening and diagnosis.MethodsA custom-made human fetal brain cDNA phage display library was constructed, and screened for antibody reactivity in m-ASD samples from the Simons Simplex Collection (SSC) of the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI). Antibody reactivity against 6 identified antigens was determined in plasma samples of 238 m-ASD and 90 mothers with typically developing children (m-TD).ResultsWe identified antibodies to 6 novel University Hasselt (UH)-ASD antigens, including three novel m-ASD autoantigens, i.e., ribosomal protein L23 (RPL23), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and calmodulin-regulated spectrin-associated protein 3 (CAMSAP3). …”
