The journal Nature Medicine published the findings in its June 22 online edition.The scientists used the drug rapamycin on mice models of TSC; rapamycin is well-known for targeting an enzyme involved in creating proteins needed for memory. The same enzyme is also regulated by TSC proteins."This is the first study to demonstrate that the drug rapamycin can repair learning deficits related to a genetic mutation that causes autism in humans. The same mutation in animals produces learning disorders, which we were able to eliminate in adult mice," said lead investigator Alcino Silva, professor of neurobiology and psychiatry at the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. "Our work and other recent studies suggest that some forms of mental retardation can be reversed, even in the adult brain."The researchers studied mice bred with tuberous sclerosis complex and confirmed that the animals suffered from the same severe learning disabilities as human patients. The learning problems were tied to biochemical changes and abnormal functioning of the hippocampus, a brain structure that plays a vital role in memory."After only three days of treatment, the TSC mice learned as quickly as the healthy mice," said first author Dan Ehninger, postgraduate researcher in neurobiology. "The rapamycin corrected the biochemistry, reversed the learning deficits and restored normal hippocampal function, allowing the mice's brains to store memories properly."No virus found in this incoming message.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hey, Heidi, thanks for sharing your experience. As far as I remember, the doc we saw last Monday did test more than jsut outdoor allegents, he tested food also, I was shocking that for all these years we have been on wheat free diet and only feed my son rice and potatoes, but it turned out my son is severely allergic to rice and potatoes, but not allergic to wheat at all.. and he is also allergic to all kinds of "safe fruit" such as watermelons, apples,..... ( of course, allergic to nuts, dairy, mushrooms, soy, eggs..) So, all these times, he was cranky, fuzzy, agitated...maybe caused by these food that we thought they are safe to him...we were wrong... However, we correct the diet immediately, not sure if the shots start to kick in, my son does doing better in terms of allergy reactions ( no more running nose, yeahhh), and he seems happier, and calmer... This immunologist we saw is also a doctor on DAN list, he also use bio-med treatments along with immune treatments, we will see how this works for us, will post here for all of us..
