2.4 Brain-Behavior Profiles in Transition-Age Youth With ASD and Executive Function Deficits

Cognitive impairment is highly variable in ASD, challenging treatment innovation efforts for this target. Within the context of a pilot clinical trial of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for executive function deficits in ASD, we performed functional neuroimaging using an N-back spatial working memory (SWM) task known to activate frontoparietal and deactivate default mode networks (DMNs).
