Precise Magnetic Stimulation of the Paraventricular Nucleus Improves Sociability in a Mouse Model of ASD

Researchers developed a new magnetic stimulation technique using tiny iron nanoparticles to precisely target a specific brain region called the paraventricular nucleus. When stimulated at 10 Hz, this region releases oxytocin, a hormone that improves social behavior. In mice with autism-like symptoms, one week of this treatment significantly improved their sociability and reduced anxiety, offering a promising non-invasive therapy for autism.
