Abstract
New progresses into the molecular and cellular mechanisms of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have been discussed in 1 day international symposium held in Pavia (Italy) on July 4th, 2014 entitled “synapses as therapeutic targets for autism spectrum disorders” (satellite of the FENS Forum for Neuroscience, Milan, 2014). In particular, world experts in the field have highlighted how animal models of ASDs have greatly advanced our understanding of the molecular pathways involved in synaptic dysfunction leading sometimes to “synaptic clinical trials” in children.

Autism comprises a wide range of neuro-developmental disorders known as autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), characterized by deficits in verbal and non-verbal communication, impaired social interactions, restricted interest, and stereotyped behavior
