El Independiente, Catalunya Ràdio and La Vanguardia have interviewed Raúl Méndez, ICREA researcher at IRB Barcelona, to learn more about the recently published study on autism. Méndez points out that despite the importance of the discovery, "we are 'far away' from achieving a cure or solution to the autism spectrum disorder, although it will allow us to focus future studies in this direction."
