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.

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.

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.

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).
