New research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine shows how brain inflammation in children may cause neurological disorders such as autism or schizophrenia. The findings show inflammation stops some neurons from maturing in the developing brain, which could open the door to new treatments.

The University of Maryland School of Medicine serves as the anchor for a large academic health center which aims to provide the best medical education, conduct the most innovative biomedical research and provide the best patient care and community service to Maryland and beyond.
