Measure
A. Placebo Then 15mg Then 30mg
Subjects will receive a single dose of placebo, then (a week later) 15mg STX209 then (a week later) 30mg STX209. Subjects will receive STX209 via oral disintegrating tablets, administered in individual 15mg tablets. A randomized acute dose-response design will be employed with a total study duration of 3 weeks. At each visit, baseline MEG will be obtained followed by acute single-dose drug/placebo administration, followed 60 minutes later by repeat MEG. Over the course of the three weeks, each participant will receive a single dose of placebo and a single dose of STX209 from smallest to largest (15mg, and 30mg). On each occasion, separated by 1 week, participants will receive either placebo or 15mg STX209 or 30mg STX209. MRI and MRS will be performed immediately following MEG to provide an anatomic basis for source localization as well as to assess acute effects of STX209 administration on MRS estimates of GABA and glutamate.

Measure
All Participants
n=21 Participants
Subjects receive a single dose of STX209 or placebo starting at 15 mg, increasing to 30 mg on each of three separate occasions (different dose on each occasion, according to their randomization scheme Arm. Outcome measures are reported by dose administered (or placebo) and not by randomization schedule, since the same outcome measures are acquired after each dose administration. Subjects will receive STX209 via oral disintegrating tablets, administered in individual 15mg tablets. A randomized acute dose-response design is employed with a total study duration of 3 weeks. At each visit, baseline MEG will be obtained followed by acute single-dose drug/placebo administration, followed 60 minutes later by repeat MEG. MRI and MRS will be performed immediately following MEG to provide an anatomic basis for source localization as well as to assess acute effects of STX209 administration on MRS estimates of GABA and glutamate.
