Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder(ASD) has been cited as a group of developmental disabilities with serious consequences.Recent studies indicated abnormalities in cortical minicolumn might be the core neuropathological mechanism for ASD.Transcranial magnetic stimulation could improve the manifestations of patients with ASD by targeting abnormal minicolumns,changing the local cortical excitability,and rebalancing the ratio of cortical excitation to inhibition.This article reviews recent researches about using transcranial magnetic stimulation in treatment of ASD,and discusses its future development in this area.
