Abstract
There is emerging evidence for the involvement of microglia and oligodendrocytes in the pathophysiology of autism. The accompanying review article summarize this evidence and explore potential ways microglia can modulate oligodendrocyte function in autism. Further investigation of the role of microglia and oligodendrocytes in autism may help clarify autism pathogenesis and holds promise to ameliorate autism phenotypes.
期刊介绍:
Cerebral Cortex publishes papers on the development, organization, plasticity, and function of the cerebral cortex, including the hippocampus. Studies with clear relevance to the cerebral cortex, such as the thalamocortical relationship or cortico-subcortical interactions, are also included.
The journal is multidisciplinary and covers the large variety of modern neurobiological and neuropsychological techniques, including anatomy, biochemistry, molecular neurobiology, electrophysiology, behavior, artificial intelligence, and theoretical modeling. In addition to research articles, special features such as brief reviews, book reviews, and commentaries are included.
