Neuroscience Theories, Hypothesis and Approaches to ASD Physiopathology. A Review

According to the results of our laboratory the theory of immune dysfunction, the theory on the genetic architecture of ASD, the disrupted cortical connectivity theory and the theory on the contribution of cerebellum to ASD have shown fundamental experimental evidences to support the core symptoms of the complex and enigmatic autism spectrum disorder. The following hypothesis, such as hypothesis of mirror neuron networks, on oxytocin and vasopressin in ASD, and the neurogenesis in the amygdala are interesting and stimulating approaches that deserve further basic and clinical research.
