Researchers have discovered that a single dose of the drug rapamycin can reverse autism-like symptoms and brain changes in adult mice. This effect occurred within hours of administration, according to reports from ScienceDaily and UCLA Health.
Coverage from Nature, Medical Xpress, and Neuroscience News emphasizes the use of a maternal inflammation mouse model to identify distinct mechanisms of dysfunction. Medical Xpress notes that the reversal of these brain changes was temporary.
Future focus remains on the mechanisms revealed by acute rapamycin treatment and the implications of these rapid reversals in adult models, as detailed in the Nature study.
