Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects social communication and behavior. The etiology of this disorder is quite complex, involving genetic and environmental factors interacting to produce the condition. Animal models have been useful tools for investigating the underlying mechanisms of autism and have contributed significantly to our understanding of the disorder. This report is intended to review the various animal models of autism and the insights they have provided into the pathogenesis of autism.
