Se observó que el autismo –un trastorno neuroconductual que ha recibido mucha atención pública–, tiene rasgos neuropatológicos característicos (aumento de la masa y del volumen total del cerebro, del volumen de la sustancia gris cortical y de la densidad neuronal en el sistema límbico, disminución del número de células de Purkinje en el cerebelo y ausencia de gliosis) que no concuerdan con el efecto de un agente tóxico externo.
It was noted that in the neuropathology of autism - one neurobehavioural disorder that has received much public attention - the characteristic features of increased brain weight, total brain volume, cortical grey matter volume and neuronal cell density in the limbic system, with a decreased number of Purkinje cells in the cerebellum and absence of gliosis were not consistent with an external toxic agent.WHO WHO
