Violence: heightened brain attentional network response is selectively muted in Down syndrome / Jeffrey S. ANDERSON in Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 7-1 (December 2015)
[article]
Titre : Violence: heightened brain attentional network response is selectively muted in Down syndrome Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jeffrey S. ANDERSON, Auteur ; S. M. TREIMAN, Auteur ; M. A. FERGUSON, Auteur ; J. A. NIELSEN, Auteur ; J. O. EDGIN, Auteur ; L. DAI, Auteur ; G. GERIG, Auteur ; J. R. KORENBERG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.15 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Attention Down syndrome Violence fMRI Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: The ability to recognize and respond appropriately to threat is critical to survival, and the neural substrates subserving attention to threat may be probed using depictions of media violence. Whether neural responses to potential threat differ in Down syndrome is not known. METHODS: We performed functional MRI scans of 15 adolescent and adult Down syndrome and 14 typically developing individuals, group matched by age and gender, during 50 min of passive cartoon viewing. Brain activation to auditory and visual features, violence, and presence of the protagonist and antagonist were compared across cartoon segments. fMRI signal from the brain's dorsal attention network was compared to thematic and violent events within the cartoons between Down syndrome and control samples. RESULTS: We found that in typical development, the brain's dorsal attention network was most active during violent scenes in the cartoons and that this was significantly and specifically reduced in Down syndrome. When the antagonist was on screen, there was significantly less activation in the left medial temporal lobe of individuals with Down syndrome. As scenes represented greater relative threat, the disparity between attentional brain activation in Down syndrome and control individuals increased. There was a reduction in the temporal autocorrelation of the dorsal attention network, consistent with a shortened attention span in Down syndrome. Individuals with Down syndrome exhibited significantly reduced activation in primary sensory cortices, and such perceptual impairments may constrain their ability to respond to more complex social cues such as violence. CONCLUSIONS: These findings may indicate a relative deficit in emotive perception of violence in Down syndrome, possibly mediated by impaired sensory perception and hypoactivation of medial temporal structures in response to threats, with relative preservation of activity in pro-social brain regions. These findings indicate that specific genetic differences associated with Down syndrome can modulate the brain's response to violence and other complex emotive ideas.
