Summary

This study uses functional brain imaging and noninvasive brain stimulation techniques to study the brain basis of developmental disorders like Autism Spectrum Disorder and Asperger Disorder. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and recently approved FDA treatment of depression, Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) will be used to study the neurocircuitry of certain symptom clusters in developmental disorders.

Conditions

DEVICE

TMS and functional MRI (Magstim)

single and paired pulse low frequency TMS. 3T structural MRI scans, amplitude modulated continuous arterial spin labeling( CASL) perfusion imaging sequence optimized for 3T is employed for perfusion MR scans using GE FAIR sequence for parallel imaging.
