NCT ID NCT06214065

First seen Mar 31, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can change brain activity related to understanding others' thoughts (mentalizing) in young adults with autism. Researchers will compare brain scans before and after stimulation in 80 participants, including some without autism. The goal is to learn how the brain's social network responds to stimulation, not to treat symptoms directly.
