Overview

Phase
Phase 2
Intervention
Not specified
Conditions
anodal tDCS through the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) can enhance neural connectivity in the fronto-parietal networks and can increase intelligence in individuals with autism. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of anodal tDCS on IQ changes in high function autism spectrum disorder patients.
