the actual causation of behavioural anomalies seems to be down to a genetic/enzyme confluence

Well hormonal at least, the result presented here is sort of murky IMO, I am not entirely certain what to make of it. They certainly don't postulate an answer to why smaller brain stems result in more aggressive behavior in those with ASD. Previous work points to, as I briefly brought up, oxytosin as a contributor, but I don't really see the connection between that and the size of the brain stem.

Basically I have to leave you with I do not know. I am interested, the result was interesting, and gets me thinking. Much of the time I enjoy science that makes me scratch my head and go... hmm.. wonder why that might be.

If you've ever questions about any science topic, don't hesitate to shoot me a message, or come into the #steemSTEM room in steemit.chat

I love talking about science, and helping people gain some sort of clarity when I can, I know full well how overwhelming the amount of info can be as you read into a topic.
