Abstract: A motor includes: a stator having a plurality of electromagnets and a plurality of rolling elements arranged around the electromagnets; and a rotor having a plurality of rotor traction components arranged to engage the plurality of rolling elements; and a control circuit. The plurality of rolling elements are arranged relative to the plurality of rotor traction components to form a gap between the plurality of rolling elements and the plurality of rotor traction components. The control circuit is configured to activate the plurality of electromagnets to cause the rotor to pivot about a pivot point defined in a spherical bearing and change the gap such that the rotor compresses against the stator and the plurality of rolling elements and the plurality of rotor traction components translate the compression into tangential thrust and rotation of the rotor.

Abstract: Studies in mouse models of Fragile X and preliminary studies in human youth demonstrate that ERK1/2 is biomarker useful to monitoring the treatment of people diagnosed with ASD. Results reported herein demonstrate that acamprosate has the ability to reduce levels of ERK1/2 activation associated with many of the symptoms of ASD. Accordingly, in addition to its utility as a diagnostic marker for ASD ERK1/2 activation levels can be used to monitor patients treated with acamprosate and to screen potentially therapeutic compounds.
