First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study looks at how a brain chemical called GABA may affect the way people with autism process sounds. Researchers will use brain scans and magnetic pulses to measure brain activity in children and young adults. The goal is to better understand the brain differences in autism, not to provide treatment. Participants include people with autism aged 11-17 and healthy volunteers aged 18-25.
