«The results are novel, as this sensitive and comprehensive testing has revealed how prenatal and early postnatal immune activation may regulate core behavioral signs associated with ASD and certain other developmental disorders through changes in signal flow between different structural components of behavior - driving neural circuits,» said Bolshakov.

Oxytocin and dopamine signalling within connected brain areas of the reward - processing network drive social bonding behaviours but the neural mechanisms have been unclear.

Neural drive is the signal from the brain to the muscle that makes it contract.

This could be because the main way in which the central nervous system signals the muscle to contract at a faster velocity is through a higher level of rate coding (Pasquet et al. 2006), while the main mechanism for increasing neural drive in response to a different muscle length is a reduced motor unit recruitment threshold (Pasquet et al. 2005).

Dopamine is a powerful neural signal implicated in the regulation of food intake by stimulating reward - driven eating behavior [12 — 14].

When the central nervous system sends a signal (called neural drive) down the efferent nerves to the neuromuscular junction, this causes an action potential to propagate along the muscle fiber, leading to depolarization.
