Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is typically characterized by common deficits in social skills and repetitive/stereotyped behaviors.It is widely accepted that genetic and environmental factors solely or in combination cause ASD.However,the underlying pathogenic mechanism is unclear due to its highly heterogeneous nature.To better understand the pathogenesis of ASD,various animal models have been generated,which can be generally divided into genetic,environment-induced,and idiopathic animal models.In this review,we summarize the common animals used for ASD study and then discuss the applications,clinical insights,as well as challenges and prospects of current ASD animal models.

Zonda wind is a typical downslope windstorm over the eastern slopes of the Central Andes in Argentina, which produces extremely warm and dry conditions and creates substantial socioeconomic impacts. The aim of this work is to obtain an index for predictin
The Chinese tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis)is emerging as an important experimental animal in multiple fields of biomedical research.Comprehensive reference genome annotation for both mRNA and long non-coding RNA (IncRNA) is crucial for developing
A new Hairless (Hr) gene mutant mouse line (SHJHhr) was identified,which showed hairless skin in adult individuals as reported in rhino mice.Through Hr gene mutant identification with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and sequencing,seven muta
The highly speciose gekkonid genus Cnemaspis Strauch,1887 is polyphyletic,with three distantly related and geographically isolated clades from Africa,South Asia (SA),and Southeast Asia.At present,there are 85 known species within SA Cnemaspis,although the
We report a new species of the genus Micryletta from the montane evergreen forest in the Bidoup-Nui Ba National Park,Lam Dong Province,Langbian Plateau,southern Vietnam,based on molecular and morphological evidence.The new species is diagnosed by a combin
Salamanders are unique among tetrapods in their ability to regenerate the limbs throughout life.Like other poikilothermic amphibians,salamanders also show a remarkable capacity to survive long periods of starvation.Whether the physiological reserves neces
