Abnormal Connectivity Involving the Social Reciprocity Network in Autism and the Impact of Neurostimulation in Mitigating the Abnormalities

Summary

There is no consensus regarding the neurological substrate underpinning ASD. The investigators describe the novel concept of "social reciprocity network" and hypothesize that aberrant connectivity/oscillatory patterns affecting this network contribute to the core deficits in ASD. The overarching goal of this trial is to explore abnormalities involving the neuronal connectivity and oscillatory patterns within the social reciprocity network and to elucidate the role of modulating this network via
