Autism Mouse Model Shows Low Stress Response and Altered Neuropeptide Levels

evidence
The takeaway

The BTBR autism model mouse showed reduced stress reactivity and altered neuroendocrine factors (oxytocin, vasopressin, CRF), linking neuropeptide dysregulation to autism-like social behavior deficits.

Key finding
