The article “Autism symptoms reversed in lab” published by BBC in 27 June 2007, reveals how Us scientists reversed, for the first time, sympoms of mental retardation and autism in laboratory mice.
This discovery was made by The Massachusetts Institute of Technology by creating mice that showed symptoms of Fragile X Syndrome (main cause of mental retardation and autism in humans).
