Re: Links Between Gluten, The Immune Molecule, And Increased Brain Connections?

The video was very interesting, but I can't imagine any of us like the way our

husband's dirty t shirts smell! LOL Kate

> Sometimes it's interesting to look at a new study to see if it can fit

together like a piece of a puzzle to other research. A recent UC study

pointed to how a tiny immune molecule with a not so tiny name, Major

Histocompatibility Complex or MHC, regulates brain connections. This new

discovery may help answer more questions about conditions such as autism and

apraxia and help determine why there has been such a dramatic increase in these

and other previously rare multifaceted neurologically based communication

disorders.

response or particular genetic profile could alter early brain development " ~
