Fig. 4: Potential therapeutic targets for developing drugs or agents targeting the glutamatergic system in autism.
From: Genetics of glutamate and its receptors in autism spectrum disorder
Different glutamatergic mechanisms such as glutamate inhibition, glutamate release, glutamate receptor modulation, and glutamate clearance serve as important targets that can be used for developing novel drugs or agents that can help in rescuing social and behavioral deficits in autism spectrum disorder.
