A single dose reversed autism-like symptoms in adult mice within hours
Science News from research organizations A single dose reversed autism-like symptoms in adult mice within hours A drug briefly reversed autism-like brain and behavior changes in adult mice, hinting that affected brain circuits may remain surprisingly adaptable. Date: July 25, 2026 Source: University of California - Los Angeles Health Sciences Summary: Even mild inflammation during pregnancy led mouse offspring to develop persistent brain overactivity, sensory sensitivity, repetitive behaviors, and increased seizure risk. Remarkably, one dose of rapamycin improved nearly all of these problems within about two hours.

Date: July 25, 2026 Source: University of California - Los Angeles Health Sciences Summary: Even mild inflammation during pregnancy led mouse offspring to develop persistent brain overactivity, sensory sensitivity, repetitive behaviors, and increased seizure risk. Remarkably, one dose of rapamycin improved nearly all of these problems within about two hours. The benefits were temporary, but they suggest that adult brain circuits may remain far more adaptable than previously believed.
