This article concludes that casomorphine, a by-product of milk digestion, can affect brain areas that are involved in schizophrenia and autism.
The authors outline the evidence that autism and schizophrenia can be explained by high levels of casomorphine in individuals with either disorder. The purpose of this study was to determine the brain areas that are influenced by casomorphine. Rats were injected with one form of casomorphine, and their brains were examined to see which areas were activated, as compared to rats that didnât receive the casomorphine. The results show that the brain regions that were activated by casomorphine were also among those that are affected in people with schizophrenia or autism.
