In individuals with typical development, the corpus callosum is known to undergo a protracted development from childhood through young adulthood. However, no study has longitudinally examined the developmental trajectory of corpus callosum in autism past early childhood.

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. DUBRAY, Auteur ; Jee Eun LEE, Auteur ; Michael P. FROIMOWITZ, Auteur ; Alyson L. FROEHLICH, Auteur ; Nagesh ADLURU, Auteur ; Brad WRIGHT, Auteur ; Caitlin RAVICHANDRAN, Auteur ; P. Thomas FLETCHER, Auteur ; Erin D. BIGLER, Auteur ; Andrew A. ALEXANDER, Auteur ; Janet E. 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.

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)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 6-2 (April 2013) . - p.78-90 Titre : Longitudinal Heschl's Gyrus Growth During Childhood and Adolescence in Typical Development and Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Molly B.

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.

Longitudinal Volumetric Brain Changes in Autism Spectrum Disorder Ages 6–35 Years / Nicholas LANGE in Autism Research, 8-1 (February 2015)

LAINHART, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.82-93 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescents  adults  children  growth curve  mixed effects  MRI  variance Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Since the impairments associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) tend to persist or worsen from childhood into adulthood, it is of critical importance to examine how the brain develops over this growth epoch. We report initial findings on whole and regional longitudinal brain development in 100 male participants with ASD (226 high-quality magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] scans; mean inter-scan interval 2.7 years) compared to 56 typically developing controls (TDCs) (117 high-quality scans; mean inter-scan interval 2.6 years) from childhood into adulthood, for a total of 156 participants scanned over an 8-year period. This initial analysis includes between one and three high-quality scans per participant that have been processed and segmented to date, with 21% having one scan, 27% with two scans, and 52% with three scans in the ASD sample; corresponding percentages for the TDC sample are 30%, 30%, and 40%. The proportion of participants with multiple scans (79% of ASDs and 68% of TDCs) was high in comparison to that of large longitudinal neuroimaging studies of typical development. We provide volumetric growth curves for the entire brain, total gray matter (GM), frontal GM, temporal GM, parietal GM, occipital GM, total cortical white matter (WM), corpus callosum, caudate, thalamus, total cerebellum, and total ventricles. Mean volume of cortical WM was reduced significantly. Mean ventricular volume was increased in the ASD sample relative to the TDCs across the broad age range studied. Decreases in regional mean volumes in the ASD sample most often were due to decreases during late adolescence and adulthood. The growth curve of whole brain volume over time showed increased volumes in young children with autism, and subsequently decreased during adolescence to meet the TDC curve between 10 and 15 years of age. The volume of many structures continued to decline atypically into adulthood in the ASD sample. The data suggest that ASD is a dynamic disorder with complex changes in whole and regional brain volumes that change over time from childhood into adulthood. Autism Res 2015, 8: 82–93.
