First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study looked at whether brain over-activity is linked to catatonia (a condition where people cannot move or speak normally) in autistic individuals. Researchers used MRI scans to target a specific brain area with mild magnetic pulses. The goal was to measure brain signals and catatonia symptoms, not to treat them. 26 people aged 15-40 with autism took part.
