Description
Seeking teens who live with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) for a study to image their brains using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to better understand how their brains function.
Overview
We are studying how a chemical in the brains (GABA) of teens with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects how they perform on certain tasks. We also want to see if taking a drug called gabapentin might impact the amount of GABA that is in the brain. We hope that findings from this study will help us better understand the connection between GABA in the brain and social cognition.
What we're hoping for
We hope that findings from this study will help us better understand the connection between GABA in the brain and social cognition in patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
