The Prairie Vole: A Key to Understanding Social Bonds and Autism
In the world of scientific research, the humble prairie vole has become an unexpected star. At the heart of the prairie vole's social behavior are two key neuropeptides: oxytocin and vasopressin
Autism research makes the leap to frogs
Researchers are using frogs, specifically the African clawed frog (Xenopus), as a model organism to study the genetics and neurodevelopmental underpinnings of autism. Their unique biological features make them well-suited for this work.

"Say hello to my little friend, the Zebrafish"
The study of dolphins has contributed to our understanding of the autistic mind in a powerful, non-traditional way. Rather than focusing on genetics, research has been drawn to a more profound truth: the concept of shared frequencies and emotional attunement.

"Say hello to my little friend, the Zebrafish"
Zebrafish are a valuable model for autism research due to their genetic and physiological similarities to humans, as well as their highly social behavior. Here's a breakdown of how they are used:

Dr. Olga Troyanskaya: Using artificial intelligence and computational modeling at Princeton University, Dr. Troyanskaya is a leading figure in genomics research. Her work is helping to identify biologically distinct subtypes of autism, which could lead to more precise diagnoses and tailored treatments.

Levine’s ultimate goal is to explore the potential of gene therapy to address genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorders. By studying the gene UBE3A, which plays a role in protein breakdown in neurons, Levine's team hopes to identify ways to correct or silence problematic genes.
