 Project Summary  Peter G. Enticott, B.App.Sci., Ph.D. (Young Investigator 2008) of Monash University, seeks to explore cortical inhibition and how it relates to the mirror neuron system in autism spectrum disorders utilizing a combination of modern neuroscience techniques (TMS, EEG) and visual stimuli. This project will provide an enhanced neurobiological understanding of the pathophysiology of autism, which promotes advances in assessment and perhaps intervention. It will be among the first TMS studies of ASD, and the largest and most comprehensive investigation of CI and the MNS in ASD. In addition to increasing our neurobiological understanding, the results of this research may provide exciting new directions for autism assessment, which will expedite crucial early intervention.
