This unique book explores the validity of early neuroinflammation as the cause of autism. If in his previous book, the author had focused on the evolution of the diagnosis of autism over the last century, delving into the psychological, epidemiological and sociological aspects, in this book - the most comprehensive and articulate on this aspect - he has concentrated on the synthesis of research by deepening the discussion of topics related to genetic research, heavy metals, the process of infection and neuroinflammation, and the BDNF thesis.

This unique book explores the validity of early neuroinflammation as the cause of autism. If in his previous book, the author had focused on the evolution of the diagnosis of autism over the last century, delving into the psychological, epidemiological and sociological aspects, in this book - the most comprehensive and articulate on this aspect - he has concentrated on the synthesis of research by deepening the discussion of topics related to genetic research, heavy metals, the process of infection and neuroinflammation, and the BDNF thesis. It covers the most accepted scientific theories, providing an overview of new frontiers of research. Finally, it introduces new strategies and tools for diagnosis and new frontiers of intervention. It will be a useful resource for professionals and researchers in autism spectrum disorders and neurobiology. It will also be an interesting read for undergraduate and postgraduate students of autism, neuroscience and genetics.
Michele Di Salvo is Director NeuralNexus of ENIA (National Entity for AI) and Chief of Board of CrossMedia Labs. He is a member of numerous associations and scientific research groups, including Society for Neuroscience, European Federation of Neuroscience Societies, International Neuropsychoanalysis Society and Cognitive Neuroscience Society. His research focuses on the neuroscientific foundations of psychology.
