The BRAIN Foundation brainfoundation.org/ is a 501c(3) non-profit. The founders of BRAIN envision a world where every child and adult on the autism spectrum is healthy, participates fully in education and employment, and has a better quality of life. It aims to catalyze research that results in evidence-based interventions for the disabilities associated with autism, and also results in better medical standard of care.
To accomplish this, it funds impactful research through #philanthropy and our network of partners in the venture, corporate, and grassroots community.

Serotonin, Autism and the Immune System - Randy Blakely PhD, BRAIN Foundation Synchrony 2023
Переглядів 2873 місяці тому
Serotonin is a powerful neuromodulator in the brain that’s involved in regulation of mood, habit, reward, anxiety, and social behavior. The targets of serotonin also include major peripheral processes that range from vasoconstriction and blood clotting to intestinal and placenta function. Dr Blakeley’s lab first identified the gene encoding the antidepressant-sensitive serotonin transporter (SE...

IL-1R1 Contributes to Stress-Induced Social Interaction Deficits - Ning Quan PhD, Synchrony 2023
Переглядів 783 місяці тому
Early life stress (ELS) is one of the common environmental factors that changes neurodevelopmental trajectory. ELS is strongly associated with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia. Increased cytokine production is one of the common responses to ELS. The proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) acting through its receptor interleukin-1 receptor-1 (...
Choroid Plexus Alterations in Autism - Nicole Zurcher PhD, the BRAIN Foundation Synchrony 2023
Переглядів 833 місяці тому
The choroid plexus is a complex network of blood vessels in the brain. It is lined by specialized cells that perform various functions, such as production of cerebrospinal fluid. It also serves as a barrier to prevent the entry of harmful substances from the blood into the central nervous system. Choroid plexus plays a role in recovery of brain function following trauma or stroke, and in the pa...

Combining Vagus Nerve Stimulation + Behavioral Therapy for Autism - Crystal Engineer, Synchrony 2023
Переглядів 1283 місяці тому
People with autism often have auditory processing disorders, where the brain is not able to make sense of what it hears. Improving the ability of neurons to adapt their response to sound is one of the most promising avenues for improving communication in autism. Evidence from animal studies suggests that precisely timed vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with sound presentation can drive robu...
Exploring Heterogeneity to Advance Precision Health in Autism - Evdokia Anagnostou, Synchrony 2023
Переглядів 683 місяці тому
While significant progress has been made in recent years in our understanding of the underlying biology of autism, providing hypotheses for interventions to address the core symptom, clinical trials of these interventions have so far failed to show significant benefits. However, while no positive benefit has been found in the overall intent-to-treat groups, in many of these studies there appear...

Calcium Transients in Microglia Drive Repetitive Autism Behaviors - Naveen Nagarajan, Synchrony 2023
Переглядів 943 місяці тому
Microglia, a type of immune cell in the brain, play a crucial role in various neurological functions. Among them, Hoxb8 microglia, a specific subset, have been linked to chronic anxiety and repetitive behaviours present in autism. In this talk Dr. Nagarajan describes results of experimental studies in mice that point towards calcium transients in Hoxb8 microglia being a feasible therapeutic tar...
Primary Immunodeficiency Presenting with Neuropsychiatric Symptoms - H Jyonouchi MD, Synchrony 2023
Переглядів 473 місяці тому
Numerous inborn errors of immunity (IEI) have been identified in the past decade. Such IEIs do not always present as frequent infection, but often present with predominant symptoms of neuroinflammation and developmental delay, exhibiting clinical features that overlap those with autism. This session presents such cases of IEIs from Dr Jyonouchi's clinic. These cases may illustrate how closely t...
