First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked for brain markers of catatonia (a condition causing movement and behavior problems) in people with autism. Researchers used MRI scans to target a brain area with magnetic stimulation and measured brain activity and symptoms. The goal was to see if overactive brain signals are linked to catatonia and social challenges. 26 people aged 15-40 with autism took part.
