rTMS-induced neuroimaging changes measured with structural and functional MRI in autism
These findings suggest that rTMS may exert therapeutic effects in children with ASD by modulating cerebellar development and cognitive control networks. The observed structural and functional brain changes support the potential utility of rTMS as a neuromodulatory intervention for ASD. Further studies with larger cohorts are needed to confirm these preliminary results and elucidate the mechanisms underlying rTMS-induced symptom improvement.
