A team of scientists from the city of Cordoba has studied the effect of testosterone on behavior of the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, with the aim to analyze the interaction between the male hormone and the nervous system at the molecular level. Previous research established a correlation between autistic behavior traits and level of exposure to testosterone during prenatal development. The research study, entitled “Epigenetic effect of testosterone in the behavior of C. elegans. A clue to explain androgen-dependent autistic traits?” has been published in the journal Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience.
