Although it is unclear whether zinc deficiency contributes to autism, scientists have now defined in detail a possible mechanistic link. Their research shows how zinc shapes the connections or \u2018synapses\u2019 between brain cells that form during early development, via a complex molecular machinery encoded by autism risk genes. Published in\u00a0<i>Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience<\/i>, the findings do not directly support zinc supplementation for the prevention of autism\u2014but extend our understanding of its underlying developmental abnormalities, towards an eventual treatment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-banner first-banner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2018\/11\/181109101508.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.robertscottbell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/181109101508_1_540x360.jpg\" width=\"183\" height=\"109\" \/><strong>Leading researchers call for a ban on widely used insecticides: Use of organophosphates has lessened, but risks to early brain development still too high<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; Public health experts have found there is sufficient evidence that prenatal exposure to widely used insecticides known as organophosphates puts children at risk for neurodevelopmental disorders.
