Official Title: Use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation for Catatonia in Autism

Brief Summary: Despite the significant morbidity and mortality associated with catatonia in autism, no diagnostic research has attempted to identify biomarkers for catatonia.This application will use a participant's own individual brain magnetic resonance image to target the primary motor strip with transcranial magnetic stimulation; to determine if hyper-excitability of the brain directly correlates with symptoms of catatonia and social-emotional impairment in autism.Completion of this project would result in the first…
