Differential Maturation of Auditory Cortex Activity in Young Children with Autism and Typical Development / Heather L. GREEN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-10 (October 2023)

Children 6-9 years old were enrolled at Time 1 (T1), with follow-up data obtained?~?18 months later at Time 2 (T2), and?~?36 months later at Time 3 (T3). Findings suggested an initial period of rapid auditory cortex maturation in autism, earlier than TD (prior to and surrounding the T1 exam), followed by a period of faster maturation in TD than autism (T1-T3). As a result of group maturation differences, post-stimulus group differences were observed at T1 but not T3. In contrast, stronger pre-stimulus activity in autism than TD was found at all time points, indicating this brain measure is stable across time.

Exploring the relationship between cortical GABA concentrations, auditory gamma-band responses and development in ASD: Evidence for an altered maturational trajectory in ASD / Russell G. PORT in Autism Research, 10-4 (April 2017)

Studies have demonstrated E/I imbalance in individuals with ASD and also corresponding rodent models. One neural process thought to be reliant on E/I balance is gamma-band activity (Gamma), with support arising from observed correlations between motor, as well as visual, Gamma and underlying GABA concentrations in healthy adults. Additionally, decreased Gamma has been observed in ASD individuals and relevant animal models, though the direct relationship between Gamma and GABA concentrations in ASD remains unexplored. This study combined magnetoencephalography (MEG) and edited magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in 27 typically developing individuals (TD) and 30 individuals with ASD. Auditory cortex localized phase-locked Gamma was compared to resting Superior Temporal Gyrus relative cortical GABA concentrations for both children/adolescents and adults. Children/adolescents with ASD exhibited significantly decreased GABA+/Creatine (Cr) levels, though typical Gamma. Additionally, these children/adolescents lacked the typical maturation of GABA+/Cr concentrations and gamma-band coherence. Furthermore, children/adolescents with ASD additionally failed to exhibit the typical GABA+/Cr to gamma-band coherence association. This altered coupling during childhood/adolescence may result in Gamma decreases observed in the adults with ASD. Therefore, individuals with ASD exhibit improper local neuronal circuitry maturation during a childhood/adolescence critical period, when GABA is involved in configuring of such circuit functioning. Provocatively a novel line of treatment is suggested (with a critical time window); by increasing neural GABA levels in children/adolescents with ASD, proper local circuitry maturation may be restored resulting in typical Gamma in adulthood.

GABA and glutamate measurements in temporal cortex of autistic children / Muhammad G. SALEH in Autism Research, 17-12 (December 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 17-12 (December 2024) . - p.2558-2571 Titre : GABA and glutamate measurements in temporal cortex of autistic children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Muhammad G. SALEH, Auteur ; Luke BLOY, Auteur ; Lisa BLASKEY, Auteur ; Timothy P. L. ROBERTS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2558-2571 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  GABA  glutamate  MEGA-PRESS  MM-suppressed Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder and presents with challenges in social communication. A hypothesized underlying contributing mechanism is the imbalance in excitation and inhibition (E/I), partly influenced by the levels of excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate (Glu) and inhibitory neurotransmitter ?-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. Although many have reported the levels of GABA and Glu in the brain, only a few reports address the temporal cortex and then only with a small sample of autistic children, and often only in one hemisphere. We used a macromolecular suppressed edited-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) sequence to study GABA and Glu (as potential key players influencing E/I) in a large sample of children with ASD in the right and left temporal cortices of children with (N?=?56) and without (N?=?30) ASD (7?18?years). As a group, children with ASD exhibited no differences in the left hemisphere (GABA and Glu Cohen's |d|: 0.24 and 0.03), but the right hemisphere showed higher GABA and lower Glu concentrations (GABA and Glu Cohen's |d|: 0.53 and 0.65) compared to neurotypicals. Furthermore, a negative association was found between the right hemisphere Glu levels of the ASD group and a clinical assessment tool (r?=??0.361, p?=?0.022), reflecting autism trait severity (social responsiveness scale). In conclusion, we highlight the chemical abnormalities in children with ASD through a cross-sectional measurement. Longitudinal studies are warranted to determine whether these chemical levels persist or resolve over development.

Joint Analysis of Band-Specific Functional Connectivity and Signal Complexity in Autism / Yasser GHANBARI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-2 (February 2015)

The present paper jointly examined complexity and connectivity to obtain a more detailed characterization of resting state brain activity in ASD. Multi-scale entropy was computed to quantify the signal complexity, and synchronization likelihood was used to evaluate functional connectivity (FC), with node strength values providing a sensor-level measure of connectivity to facilitate comparisons with complexity. Sensor level analysis of complexity and connectivity was performed at different frequency bands computed from resting state MEG from 26 children with ASD and 22 typically developing controls (TD). Analyses revealed band-specific group differences in each measure that agreed with other functional studies in fMRI and EEG: higher complexity in TD than ASD, in frontal regions in the delta band and occipital-parietal regions in the alpha band, and lower complexity in TD than in ASD in delta (parietal regions), theta (central and temporal regions) and gamma (frontal-central boundary regions); increased short-range connectivity in ASD in the frontal lobe in the delta band and long-range connectivity in the temporal, parietal and occipital lobes in the alpha band. Finally, and perhaps most strikingly, group differences between ASD and TD in complexity and FC appear spatially complementary, such that where FC was elevated in ASD, complexity was reduced (and vice versa). The correlation of regional average complexity and connectivity node strength with symptom severity scores of ASD subjects supported the overall complementarity (with opposing sign) of connectivity and complexity measures, pointing to either diminished connectivity leading to elevated entropy due to poor inhibitory regulation or chaotic signals prohibiting effective measure of connectivity.
