Autism EEG Study Finds 2 Opposite Excitation-Inhibition Subtypes
A 2026 medRxiv preprint did not find one simple autism excitation-inhibition signature. Bertelsen et al. found 2 EEG-derived E:I neurosubtypes in 286 autistic males: a 47% inhibition-dominant subtype with higher Hurst exponent and lower gamma, and a 53% excitation-dominant subtype with the opposite pattern.1 Research Highlights Two subtypes, opposite directions: in 286 autistic males ages …
