Difference between Autism and Neurotransmitter

Autism vs. Neurotransmitter

Autism is a developmental disorder characterized by troubles with social interaction and communication and by restricted and repetitive behavior. Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission.

Similarities between Autism and Neurotransmitter

Autism and Neurotransmitter have 16 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alcohol (drug), Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Cerebral cortex, Cocaine, Epilepsy, Executive functions, Major depressive disorder, Metabotropic glutamate receptor, Nervous system, Neuroanatomy, Neuron, Parkinson's disease, Schizophrenia, Serotonin, Synapse, Working memory.

Alcohol (drug)

Alcohol, also known by its chemical name ethanol, is a psychoactive substance or drug that is the active ingredient in alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and distilled spirits (hard liquor).

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental disorder of the neurodevelopmental type.

Cerebral cortex

The cerebral cortex is the largest region of the cerebrum in the mammalian brain and plays a key role in memory, attention, perception, cognition, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness.

Executive functions

Executive functions (collectively referred to as executive function and cognitive control) are a set of cognitive processes that are necessary for the cognitive control of behavior: selecting and successfully monitoring behaviors that facilitate the attainment of chosen goals.

Major depressive disorder

Major depressive disorder (MDD), also known simply as depression, is a mental disorder characterized by at least two weeks of low mood that is present across most situations.

Metabotropic glutamate receptor

The metabotropic glutamate receptors, or mGluRs, are a type of glutamate receptor that are active through an indirect metabotropic process.

Nervous system

The nervous system is the part of an animal that coordinates its actions by transmitting signals to and from different parts of its body.

Neuroanatomy

Neuroanatomy is the study of the structure and organization of the nervous system.

Neuron

A neuron, also known as a neurone (British spelling) and nerve cell, is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.

Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system.

Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by abnormal social behavior and failure to understand reality.

Serotonin

Serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a monoamine neurotransmitter.

Synapse

In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target efferent cell.

Working memory

Working memory is a cognitive system with a limited capacity that is responsible for temporarily holding information available for processing.

Autism and Neurotransmitter Comparison

Autism has 279 relations, while Neurotransmitter has 375. As they have in common 16, the Jaccard index is 2.45% = 16 / (279 + 375).
