Chronic sodium bromide treatment relieves autistic-like behavioral deficits in three mouse models of autism.
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental disorders whose diagnosis relies on deficient social interaction and communication together with repetitive behavior. To date, no pharmacological treatment has been approved that ameliorates social behavior in patients with ASD. Based on the excitation/inhibition imbalance theory of autism, we hypothesized that bromide ions, long used as an antiepileptic medication, could relieve core symptoms of ASD. We evaluated the effects of chronic sodium bromide (NaBr) administration on autistic-like symptoms in three genetic mouse models of autism: Oprm1 Topics: Animals; Autism Spectrum Disorder; Autistic Disorder; Behavior, Animal; Bromides; Disease Models, Animal; Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein; Mice; Mice, Knockout; Microfilament Proteins; Nerve Tissue Proteins; Receptors, GABA-A; Social Behavior; Sodium Compounds | 2022 |
