RIKEN researchers have shown in a mouse model of autism that specific oxytocin-secreting neurons in the brain are disproportionately disrupted and that neurostimulation can restore social behaviors.

Initially I was all but I don’t want to be social. Then I was oh that’s what their talking about. I feel I am social enough though. And all science should be repeated for vapidity.

    Sounds like this study, and other studies using VPA-induced “ASD” in animal models, are straight up dangerous and could lead to negative consequences for the neurodivergent community due to wrong results.
