Role of GABAergic Transmission in Auditory Processing in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Researchers are studying the brain's response to language and sound. This study uses a repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), an investigational form of brain stimulation, to measure how different parts of the brain communicate in teens with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Findings from this study may aid in the development of possible future treatments.
Brain Imaging of Childhood Onset Psychiatric Disorders, Endocrine Disorders and Healthy Volunteers
A study at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is seeking healthy females aged 6-18 for a brain imaging study using MRI. Researchers aim to learn about brain anatomy and function, while advancing the understanding of behavior and mental health in children and young adults.
A Longitudinal Investigation of the Endocrine and Neurobiologic Events Accompanying Puberty
Clinical Evaluation of Pediatric and Adults with Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are disorders caused by abnormal blood cell production, potentially leading to low cell counts and increased susceptibility to clotting and infections. Past research suggests that inflammation may trigger these abnormalities, and this study seeks to further understand and improve treatment strategies for MDS by investigating the role of inflammation in bone marrow cell development.
