Theta-Burst Stimulation of the Right Temporoparietal Junction and Implicit Theory of Mind in Autism
These findings show a causal link between the rTPJ activation and implicit mentalizing in ASD, suggesting that theta-burst stimulation of this region can be used to enhance ToM in ASD. Targeting the rTPJ may improve implicit mentalizing in ASD and other disorders with impaired ToM.
