Neuroscientists from the University of Maryland have come a step closer to understanding how disorders such as autism and schizophrenia develop in children, opening the door for potential new treatments.
Inflammation in the brain during early childhood has been previously linked to autism and schizophrenia. But the mechanisms behind this link have been unclear.
Now Maryland researchers have identified how this inflammation can affect human brain cells and their development, offering a potential mechanism for this association. Their results were published on October 12 in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
In their research, the team conducted a post-mortem analysis of the brain tissues from 17 children—eight who had died from conditions related to inflammation and nine who had been in accidents.
"Inflammation can be induced by many factors," Seth Ament, an associate professor in psychiatry at Maryland's Medicine Institute of Neuroscience Discovery, told Newsweek. Ament and Margaret McCarthy are co-lead authors of the study.
"The donors in our sample experienced acute inflammation from causes such as encephalitis and severe asthma attacks. In addition, some donors were identified as having experienced inflammation because their medical records indicated the use of anti-inflammatory drugs," he said.

Previous studies have shown that babies born with abnormalities in the cerebellum—the part of the brain involved in movement, balance, motor learning and speech—are more likely to develop neurodevelopmental disorders. So, the team decided to focus their research on this area.

Vaccines.
Yup... But they’re calling a it ‘spectrum’... Meaning that everybody is now ‘autistic’. There was a time when autistic children were easily identifiable... Now they walk and talk and read and write... I have a friend who has an autistic boy... He can’t do any of those things. The boy doesn’t say ‘I’m autistic’, because he can’t... He can barely communicate.
Now plot the rise in autism against the number of required childhood vaccines.
Amazing how the “experts” always seem to escape any scrutiny.

Yeah...someone should track # of vax required of children with that chart...bet correlation is high.
I would support the point that orthodox medicine has been bastardized by many effects, possibly even the lure of $$ in said diagnoses.
Interesting. No surprise. Thanks for that.
Agreed. Where’s there’s smoke...
Unfortunately, there’s no $$ for research which might answer the question once & for all.
Gee: I wonder why... /s
Don’t vaccines cause inflammation?
Is the spike protein in Covid an inflammatory agent?
Several factors. We are getting better diagnosis for it now because we have more information about it.
That said. Our society is different now. We are less social than we used to be. Most families average 1-2 children. And they're less social. Addicted to technology.
Exactly.
I agree. I have a friend with two Autistic children. Her son is severely autistic and non-verbal. Her daughter is slightly better with limited verbal skills, an IQ of 93, but has horrible behavioral issues. She is extremely violent and is institutionalized. Much of what they deem as high functioning autistic today is what I always saw as the asocial, engineer personality growing up (I have lots of friends who are engineers, there is a type, personality wise).
The schools get paid for all these "sick" kids...and counselors love the big bucks.
A friend and his wife told the school to go to hell when they said their daughter should be put on Ritalin. And that "hyper" child wound up being a doctor.
Increase in “diagnoses” is due to misdiagnosis, nothing more. Follow the money. I’d bet the house that there is no more actual autism than there was 20 or 50 years ago.
There is still no solid, proven connection between vaccines and autism. Again, follow the money.
The anti vaxers of course will eat this balony right up.
The covid vaccination scam only helped add legitimacy to the anti vaxer’s cause. But there ARE legitimate vaccines out there and they ARE effective and generally safe.
Engineers have an IQ well above 115-120.
Autism in its current definition is a complete scam. Meant to get shrinks(crazy leftists who can’t get a elsewhere) more cash, put more people on drugs, and get screwls more funding.
A lot of “autistic” people aren’t. I’m one such person. Elon Musk is another. Perfectly standard humans, with a slight twist on though process and in my case, poor handwriting.
It’s just liberals trying to label and categorize humans because its what they always do. Makes them feel special to have the power
Of course there are legitimate vaxxes, but there are illegitimate ones too...that babies are getting.
Scientists wanted to do a study on autism in unvaccinated children but were unable to as they couldn’t find any children with autism who had not been vaccinated.
