Abstract
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects social communication
and behavior. The etiology of this disorder is quite complex, involving genetic and
environmental factors interacting to produce the condition. Animal models have been
useful tools for investigating the underlying mechanisms of autism and have
contributed significantly to our understanding of the disorder. This report is intended to
review the various animal models of autism and the insights they have provided into
the pathogenesis of autism.
