Atypical diffusion tensor hemispheric asymmetry in autism / Nicholas LANGE in Autism Research, 3-6 (December 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 3-6 (December 2010) . - p.350-358 Titre : Atypical diffusion tensor hemispheric asymmetry in autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Nicholas LANGE, Auteur ; Molly B.

LAINHART, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.350-358 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adaptive functioning  classification  diffusion tensor imaging  hemispheric asymmetry  language functioning Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Biological measurements that distinguish individuals with autism from typically developing individuals and those with other developmental and neuropsychiatric disorders must demonstrate very high performance to have clinical value as potential imaging biomarkers. We hypothesized that further study of white matter microstructure (WMM) in the superior temporal gyrus (STG) and temporal stem (TS), two brain regions in the temporal lobe containing circuitry central to language, emotion, and social cognition, would identify a useful combination of classification features and further understand autism neuropathology. Methods: WMM measurements from the STG and TS were examined from 30 high-functioning males satisfying full criteria for idiopathic autism aged 7–28 years and 30 matched controls and a replication sample of 12 males with idiopathic autism and 7 matched controls who participated in a previous case–control diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) study. Language functioning, adaptive functioning, and psychotropic medication usage were also examined. Results: In the STG, we find reversed hemispheric asymmetry of two separable measures of directional diffusion coherence, tensor skewness, and fractional anisotropy. In autism, tensor skewness is greater on the right and fractional anisotropy is decreased on the left. We also find increased diffusion parallel to white matter fibers bilaterally. In the right not left TS, we find increased omnidirectional, parallel, and perpendicular diffusion. These six multivariate measurements possess very high ability to discriminate individuals with autism from individuals without autism with 94% sensitivity, 90% specificity, and 92% accuracy in our original and replication samples. We also report a near-significant association between the classifier and a quantitative trait index of autism and significant correlations between two classifier components and measures of language, IQ, and adaptive functioning in autism.

Corpus callosum area in children and adults with autism / Molly B. D. PRIGGE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-2 (February 2013)

In this study, we examined corpus callosum size from a developmental perspective across a 30-year age range in a large cross-sectional sample of individuals with autism compared to a typically developing sample. Midsagittal corpus callosum area and the 7 Witelson subregions were examined in 68 males with autism (mean age 14.1 years; range 3'36 years) and 47 males with typical development (mean age 15.3 years; range 4'29 years). Controlling for total brain volume, increased variability in total corpus callosum area was found in autism. In autism, increased midsagittal areas were associated with reduced severity of autism behaviors, higher intelligence, and faster speed of processing (p = 0.003, p = 0.011, p = 0.013, respectively). A trend toward group differences in isthmus development was found (p = 0.029, uncorrected). These results suggest that individuals with autism benefit functionally from increased corpus callosum area. Our cross-sectional examination also shows potential maturational abnormalities in autism, a finding that should be examined further with longitudinal datasets.

Diversity of Participants in Williams Syndrome Intervention Studies / Eva SHIN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 54-10 (October 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 54-10 (October 2024) . - p.3888-3898 Titre : Diversity of Participants in Williams Syndrome Intervention Studies Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eva SHIN, Auteur ; Caitlin RAVICHANDRAN, Auteur ; Danielle RENZI, Auteur ; Barbara R. POBER, Auteur ; Christopher J. MCDOUGLE, Auteur ; Robyn P. THOM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3888-3898 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Purpose: This study describes participant diversity in Williams syndrome (WS) intervention studies. Methods: A literature search was conducted to identify prospective treatment studies including participants with WS. Data was extracted on the reporting of and information provided on age, sex, cognitive ability, socioeconomic status, race, and ethnicity. Results: Eleven eligible articles were identified. Reporting rates of demographic factors varied considerably, with the highest rates for age and sex (100%) and the lowest reporting rates for race (18%) and ethnicity (9%). Combining demographic data from the two studies that reported on race and/or ethnicity (n = 33), 88% of participants were White. The combined participant mean age was 20.9 years. Conclusion: There is a low frequency of reporting on several demographic factors including socioeconomic status, race, and ethnicity in WS intervention studies. There is a need for increased representation of racial and ethnic minority groups, older participants, and more cognitively impaired patients in WS research.

Longitudinal Heschl's Gyrus Growth During Childhood and Adolescence in Typical Development and Autism / Molly B. D. PRIGGE in Autism Research, 6-2 (April 2013)

Functional studies suggest abnormal neural response and hemispheric activation to auditory stimuli, yet the neurodevelopment underlying atypical auditory function in autism is unknown. In this study, we model longitudinal volumetric growth of Heschl's gyrus gray matter and white matter during childhood and adolescence in 40 individuals with autism and 17 typically developing participants. Up to three time points of magnetic resonance imaging data, collected on average every 2.5 years, were examined from individuals 3–12 years of age at the time of their first scan. Consistent with previous cross-sectional studies, no group differences were found in Heschl's gyrus gray matter volume or asymmetry. However, reduced longitudinal gray matter volumetric growth was found in the right Heschl's gyrus in autism. Reduced longitudinal white matter growth in the left hemisphere was found in the right-handed autism participants. Atypical Heschl's gyrus white matter volumetric growth was found bilaterally in the autism individuals with a history of delayed onset of spoken language. Heightened auditory sensitivity, obtained from the Sensory Profile, was associated with reduced volumetric gray matter growth in the right hemisphere. Our longitudinal analyses revealed dynamic gray and white matter changes in Heschl's gyrus throughout childhood and adolescence in both typical development and autism.
