Summary
This paper explores the relationship between circadian rhythms and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs), suggesting that disruptions in circadian rhythms may contribute to the development of ASDs.
Categories
Autism Spectrum Disorder: The paper focuses on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs), exploring the potential link between circadian rhythms and the development of ASDs.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how circadian rhythms, which are known to influence cognitive functions and memory, may be disrupted in individuals with ASDs.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper reviews physiological indicators of circadian rhythms that are found disrupted in ASD individuals, including sleep–wake cycles.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of hormones such as melatonin, cortisol, and serotonin in regulating circadian rhythms, and how their disruption may be linked to ASDs.
