Study Reveals Significant Cause of Autism and ADHD
Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have made a crucial discovery about brain development in children. They found that inflammation, the body's response to illness or injury, can impact the development of certain brain cells.
This finding may help explain why some children develop conditions like autism or ADHD.
Neurodevelopmental disorders are health conditions that affect how a child's brain grows and works.
- These disorders often start when a child is very young and usually last a lifetime.
- Children with these conditions may find it harder to learn, speak, socialize, or handle emotions.
- Common examples include autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The human brain is very complex, and this discovery sheds new light on its development.
