Autism is a serious illness with a various amount of causes and origins. It's dysfunction with the cerebral cortex and other regions of the brain disrupt and make the cognitive and behavioral actions "misbehave". This might be a little esoteric (difficult to grasp, understand)The neurons in the brain are send to the nerve cells and received in different ways than other within the body. Hennady P. Shulha examined certain parts of the brain tissue of 16+ individuals diagnosed with autism. She has discovered that "histones" are small proteins that attach to DNA that control gene expression and activity. She conducted a series of experiments but less than 10 percent, of the affected genes were affected by the DNA mutations. Docter Shulha continues her research in DNA mutation, and on the study of autism, to help get to the bottom of the real reason for autism.
