Weekly Autism Global News in Review 09/08/10

Rob Sidell hosts and produces a show that reviews articles about the use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the left anterior temporal (ATL) lobe of the brain to produce a temporary boost to visual memory and perceptual skills. These testing results have been described as very similar to the scoring of those with an ASD diagnosis. Rob also reviews articles about BPA increasing testosterone in men, a body hair test to determine the timing of an individual's circadian rhythm, unhealthy byproducts of the process of disinfecting our water and a postmortem study of the brains of those with a diagnosis of ASD.
