Wow -- that looks pretty promising.
My second thought being, just imagine what the big pharms can charge (of PARENTS) for a medication to help with it.
These are mice however ... there really is no animal model for autism from what I have read.
I live right next to MIT and on craigslist in the last few days they have put out a TON of ads for ASD people aged 7-16 willing to participate in a trial. I wonder if it is related???
