Altered Primary Somatosensory Neuron Development in a Pten Heterozygous Model for Autism Spectrum Disorder Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in social interactions, repetitive behaviors, and hyper- or hyposensitivity to sensory stimuli. The c....
