Titre : Atypical functional connectivity of temporal cortex with precuneus and visual regions may be an early-age signature of ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Teresa H. WEN, Auteur ; Lauren KUPIS, Auteur ; Lisa T. EYLER, Auteur ; Vani TALUJA, Auteur ; Jaden TROXEL, Auteur ; Disha GOEL, Auteur ; Michael V. LOMBARDO, Auteur ; Karen PIERCE, Auteur ; Eric COURCHESNE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 11 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Social and language abilities are closely intertwined during early typical development. In autism spectrum disorder (ASD), however, deficits in social and language development are early-age core symptoms. We previously reported that superior temporal cortex, a well-established social and language region, shows reduced activation to social affective speech in ASD toddlers; however, the atypical cortical connectivity that accompanies this deviance remains unknown. METHODS: We collected clinical, eye tracking, and resting-state fMRI data from 86 ASD and non-ASD subjects (mean age 2.3?+?0.7 years). Functional connectivity of left and right superior temporal regions with other cortical regions and correlations between this connectivity and each child's social and language abilities were examined. RESULTS: While there was no group difference in functional connectivity, the connectivity between superior temporal cortex and frontal and parietal regions was significantly correlated with language, communication, and social abilities in non-ASD subjects, but these effects were absent in ASD subjects. Instead, ASD subjects, regardless of different social or nonsocial visual preferences, showed atypical correlations between temporal-visual region connectivity and communication ability (r(49)=0.55, p<0.001) and between temporal-precuneus connectivity and expressive language ability (r(49)=0.58, p<0.001). LIMITATIONS: The distinct connectivity-behavior correlation patterns may be related to different developmental stages in ASD and non-ASD subjects. The use of a prior 2-year-old template for spatial normalization may not be optimal for a few subjects beyond this age range. CONCLUSIONS: Superior temporal cortex is known to have reduced activation to social affective speech in ASD at early ages, and here we find in ASD toddlers that it also has atypical connectivity with visual and precuneus cortices that is correlated with communication and language ability, a pattern not seen in non-ASD toddlers. This atypicality may be an early-age signature of ASD that also explains why the disorder has deviant early language and social development. Given that these atypical connectivity patterns are also present in older individuals with ASD, we conclude these atypical connectivity patterns persist across age and may explain why successful interventions targeting language and social skills at all ages in ASD are so difficult to achieve.

Titre : Consistency between parent report and direct assessment of development in toddlers with autism spectrum disorder and other delays: Does sex assigned at birth matter? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Stephen James, Auteur ; Shreyas Hallur, Auteur ; Joshua Anbar, Auteur ; Nicole Matthews, Auteur ; Karen PIERCE, Auteur ; Christopher J. SMITH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1174-1184 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism direct assessment parent report sex toddlers Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract The current study examined differences between parent report and diagnostician direct assessment of receptive language, expressive language, and fine motor abilities in toddlers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other delays. Additionally, this study examined whether parent-diagnostician consistency varied by child diagnosis and sex assigned at birth (SAB). Initial mixed analysis of variances (ANOVAs) were conducted using data from a sample of 646 toddlers to examine whether parent-diagnostician consistency differed by child diagnosis. Matched samples (using child age, SAB, and nonverbal IQ) were then created within each diagnostic group and mixed ANOVAs were conducted to examine if consistency was similar in matched diagnostic subsamples and whether it differed by SAB. Findings from the full sample mostly replicated previous research that has documented consistency between parent report and direct observation regardless of child diagnosis. However, when examined in matched diagnostic subgroups, more nuanced patterns were observed. Parent report of receptive language was lower in ASD and ASD features subgroups and parent report of fine motor skills was lower than direct observation in the ASD, ASD features, and developmental delay groups. When examining the moderating effect of SAB, only expressive language was impacted for children in the ASD group. Results indicate the importance of considering child demographic characteristics and that child SAB may impact parent report and/or diagnostician perception of expressive language.

Titre : Identifying prognostic markers in autism spectrum disorder using eye tracking Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Elizabeth C. BACON, Auteur ; Adrienne MOORE, Auteur ; Quimby LEE, Auteur ; Cynthia CARTER BARNES, Auteur ; Eric COURCHESNE, Auteur ; Karen PIERCE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.658-669 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders development diagnosis school-age children Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : While many children with autism spectrum disorder are now detected at young ages given the rise in screening and general awareness, little is known regarding the prognosis of early detected children. The brain is shaped by experience-dependent mechanisms; thus, what a child pays attention to plays a pivotal role in shaping brain development. Eye tracking can provide an index of a child's visual attention and, as such, holds promise as a technology for revealing prognostic markers. In this, 49 children aged 1-3 years with autism spectrum disorder participated in an eye-tracking test, the GeoPref Test, that revealed preference for social versus nonsocial images. Next, children participated in a comprehensive test battery 5-9 years following the initial GeoPref Test. Statistical tests examined whether early age eye tracking predicted later school-age outcomes in symptom severity, social functioning, adaptive behavior, joint attention, and IQ. Results indicated that toddlers with higher preference for geometric images demonstrated greater symptom severity and fewer gaze shifts at school age. This relationship was not found in relation to IQ or adaptive behavior. Overall, the GeoPref Test holds promise as a symptom severity prognostic tool; further development of eye-tracking paradigms may enhance prognostic power and prove valuable in validating treatment progress.
