Review on the role of hippocampus in autism spectrum disorder: recent insights into neuropathology, genetics, and emerging therapeutic strategies
Open accessAbstract
The hippocampus, central to learning, memory, and social behavior, is increasingly implicated in the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Structural and functional disruptions in this region contribute to core ASD traits through impaired neurogenesis, abnormal dendritic morphology, excitatory/inhibitory imbalance, and altered connectivity with large-scale brain networks. Neuroimaging studies revealed changes in hippocampal volume, subfield-specific anomalies in the CA1 and dentate gyrus, and reduced functional connectivity within these regions. Genetic mutations in Shank3, Syngap1, Fmr1, and Nlgn3 disrupt synaptic plasticity and social memory circuits, while epigenetic alterations and environmental exposures further impair regulatory processes. Neuroinflammation exacerbates ASD pathology through microglial activation and cytokine release. Collectively, current evidence positions hippocampal dysfunction as central to ASD, emphasizing its relevance as both a biomarker and a therapeutic target to improve clinical outcomes.

Impaired hippocampal network stability and coordination may underlie shared cognitive and social deficits in ASD.
“Thus, impaired hippocampal network stability and coordination may underlie shared cognitive and social deficits in ASD (Bhamidimarri et al., 2026).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
