Cytotoxic Effect of Brain Macrophages on Developing Neurons.
TL;DR: The results suggest that brain macrophages could favour the appearance of neuroregressive events which occur either during neurogenesis or in neurodegenerative diseases, implying intracerebral recruitment of mononuclear phagocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
MAP2 expression and neuritic outgrowth and branching are coregulated through region-specific neuro-astroglial interactions
TL;DR: The observations strongly suggest that the astrocytic environment regulates the synthesis and/or intracellular distribution of MAP2, as well as the morphology of the neurons, and that this regulation is region specific.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autism and social movements: French parents' associations and international autistic individuals' organisations.
TL;DR: It is suggested that both the autism-category changes in the late 1980s, and the development of educational and behavioural methods in the United States, have given rise to a large-scale mobilisation around the changes inThe definition of autism and interventions in many countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain macrophages stimulate neurite growth and regeneration by secreting thrombospondin
TL;DR: The results suggest that brain macrophages contribute actively to neurite growth or regeneration during the development or in pathological contexts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed parents' first concerns about their autistic child and categorized them into three groups: (a) early awareness group, which included motor problems and passivity (14.6 months); (b) intermediate awareness group including emotional, hyperactivity, and sleep problems (15.3 months); and (c) later awareness group which included communication problems, poor social interaction, and autistic type behaviors (22.3months).
