Gut-derived compound causes autism-like behavior in mice
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Over the past decade, research has linked autism spectrum disorder to a dysregulation of the relationship between the brain, the gut, and the trillions of microbes that reside in the gut. Alterations in this so-called “microbiota-gut-brain” axis can be detected as changes in small molecules produced by the microbiota in feces and urine. One of these molecules is p-cresol, a byproduct of bacterial fermentation of proteins. Studies have shown that p-cresol is more abundant in people with autism than in neurotypical individuals. To explore p-cresol’s possible role in autism, researchers fed the compound to mice and monitored their behavior. Mice exposed to p-cresol showed autistic-like behaviors that persisted after treatment was discontinued. Compared to control mice, treated mice showed reduced sociability, reduced social contact, and more frequent stereotypies such as head shakes and circlings..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

DYSLEXIA:
This website uses the OpenDyslexic font in order to increase readability.

AUTISM SPECTRUM
All the fables can be read using Alternative and Augmentative Communication and PECS symbols offered by SymWriter, specific for autistic people but usable by everyone.

VISUAL IMPAIRMENT
The "Listen" step can be useful to blind students. Furthermore, the website is responsive and the text is scalable.

HEARING IMPAIRMENT
The "Watch" and the "Read" step can be useful to deaf students.

The website is designed to be used by adults and teenagers or by children helped by a parent or a supporting teacher.

A decade ago, the possibility of a link between the MMR vaccine and autism hit the media. Fear of the vaccine spread rapidly and, despite an almost unanimous consensus that the claim was unfounded, still persists today. In this unit, we'll examine why this controversy took on such a life of its own and why parents still agonise about the vaccine.
