Project Element	Element Description
Project Title Project Title	Comparing the Effect of Non-invasive Brain Stimulation on Different Brain Regions for Reducing Social Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Principal Investigator Principal Investigator	Enticott, Peter
Description Description	Peter Gregory Enticott, Ph.D., Deakin University, is seeking a biological treatment for autism that targets its core symptoms. Using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), he will target the disrupted communication between brain cells that is a hallmark of autism. He will then compare efficacy of TMS when applied to two different brain regions, to determine which areas hold promise for new interventions. Dr. Enticott's team will focus on adolescents and young adults with autism, a crucial population whose autism symptoms can interfere with the transition to adulthood.
