Unraveling the Mind: A Journey into the Genetic and Mitochondrial Intricacies Behind Social Deficits and Repetitive Behaviors
Introduction Imagine a world where the small structures within our cells, known as mitochondria, play a crucial role in shaping our social interactions and behaviors. It might sound like something out of a science fiction novel, but emerging research suggests that this is not far from reality. Mitochondrial dysfunction could underlie social deficits and repetitive […]
