This is a joint presentation by ARI and the World Autism Organisation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

Manuel Casanova, MD,<\/a> discusses Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and its potential for treating autism. He details the cerebral cortex development and notes revealed differences in mini-columnar morphology and gamma oscillations in individuals with autism. Casanova describes TMS treatments and outlines studies that correlated TMS sessions and increased cognitive abilities. He posits that TMS could shift our focus from symptomatic treatments to interventions that target core pathologies of autism. Casanova notes that although evidence is hopeful, more research is needed to understand the scope and reach of TMS.<\/span><\/p>\n
