From engineering viewpoint, reticular thalamic nucleus is like a gate modulating traffic between preprocessed input from thalamus (which could be sensory or inner thinking) and cerebral cortex. It makes sense that when it malfunctions brain might have problems to develop "correct" connectome. If the results of this study replicate in humans, this could be a cure for autism.
