Social Deficits AAssociated w/ Autism

RESEARCHERS at Stanford University School of Medicine have been able to switch on, & then switch off, social-behavior deficits in mice that resemble those seen in people with autism & schizophrenia, thanks to a technology that allows scientists to precisely manipulate nerve activity in the brain. In synchrony with this experimentally induced socially aberrant behavior, the mice exhibited a brain-wave pattern called gamma oscillation that has been associated with autism & schizophrenia in humans, the researchers say.
