Titre : EEG power at 3 months in infants at high familial risk for autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : A. R. LEVIN, Auteur ; Kandice J. VARCIN, Auteur ; H. M. O'LEARY, Auteur ; Helen TAGER-FLUSBERG, Auteur ; C. A. NELSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.34 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Biomarker Early development Electroencephalography Infant siblings Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Alterations in brain development during infancy may precede the behavioral manifestation of developmental disorders. Infants at increased risk for autism are also at increased risk for other developmental disorders, including, quite commonly, language disorders. Here we assess the extent to which electroencephalographic (EEG) differences in infants at high versus low familial risk for autism are present by 3 months of age, and elucidate the functional significance of EEG power at 3 months in predicting later development. METHODS: EEG data were acquired at 3 months in infant siblings of children with autism (high risk; n = 29) and infant siblings of typically developing children (low risk; n = 19) as part of a prospective, longitudinal investigation. Development across multiple domains was assessed at 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, and 36 months. Diagnosis of autism was determined at 18-36 months. We assessed relationships between 3-month-olds' frontal EEG power and autism risk, autism outcome, language development, and development in other domains. RESULTS: Infants at high familial risk for autism had reduced frontal power at 3 months compared to infants at low familial risk for autism, across several frequency bands. Reduced frontal high-alpha power at 3 months was robustly associated with poorer expressive language at 12 months. CONCLUSIONS: Reduced frontal power at 3 months may indicate increased risk for reduced expressive language skills at 12 months. This finding aligns with prior studies suggesting reduced power is a marker for atypical brain function, and infants at familial risk for autism are also at increased risk for altered developmental functioning in non-autism-specific domains.

Titre : Electroencephalographic spectral power as a marker of cortical function and disease severity in girls with Rett syndrome Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : K. J. ROCHE, Auteur ; J. J. LEBLANC, Auteur ; A. R. LEVIN, Auteur ; H. M. O'LEARY, Auteur ; L. M. BACZEWSKI, Auteur ; C. A. NELSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : 15 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biomarker Eeg Electroencephalography Electrophysiology Rett syndrome Spectral power Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Rett syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a mutation in the X-linked MECP2 gene. Individuals with Rett syndrome typically develop normally until around 18 months of age before undergoing a developmental regression, and the disorder can lead to cognitive, motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunction. Understanding the mechanism of developmental regression represents a unique challenge when viewed through a neuroscience lens. Are circuits that were previously established erased, and are new ones built to supplant old ones? One way to examine circuit-level changes is with the use of electroencephalography (EEG). Previous studies of the EEG in individuals with Rett syndrome have focused on morphological characteristics, but few have explored spectral power, including power as an index of brain function or disease severity. This study sought to determine if EEG power differs in girls with Rett syndrome and typically developing girls and among girls with Rett syndrome based on various clinical characteristics in order to better understand neural connectivity and cortical organization in individuals with this disorder. METHODS: Resting state EEG data were acquired from girls with Rett syndrome (n = 57) and typically developing children without Rett syndrome (n = 37). Clinical data were also collected for girls with Rett syndrome. EEG power across several brain regions in numerous frequency bands was then compared between girls with Rett syndrome and typically developing children and power in girls with Rett syndrome was compared based on these clinical measures. 1/f slope was also compared between groups. RESULTS: Girls with Rett syndrome demonstrate significantly lower power in the middle frequency bands across multiple brain regions. Additionally, girls with Rett syndrome that are postregression demonstrate significantly higher power in the lower frequency delta and theta bands and a significantly more negative slope of the power spectrum. Increased power in these bands, as well as a more negative 1/f slope, trended with lower cognitive assessment scores. CONCLUSIONS: Increased power in lower frequency bands is consistent with previous studies demonstrating a "slowing" of the background EEG in Rett syndrome. This increase, particularly in the delta band, could represent abnormal cortical inhibition due to dysfunctional GABAergic signaling and could potentially be used as a marker of severity due to associations with more severe Rett syndrome phenotypes.

Titre : Reduced frontal gamma power at 24 months is associated with better expressive language in toddlers at risk for autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : C. L. WILKINSON, Auteur ; A. R. LEVIN, Auteur ; L. J. GABARD-DURNAM, Auteur ; Helen TAGER-FLUSBERG, Auteur ; C. A. NELSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1211-1224 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : children cognitive neuroscience electroencephalography (EEG) infants language Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Frontal gamma power has been associated with early language development in typically developing toddlers, and gamma band abnormalities have been observed in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as high-risk infant siblings (those having an older sibling with ASD), as early as 6 months of age. The current study investigated differences in baseline frontal gamma power and its association with language development in toddlers at high versus low familial risk for autism. Electroencephalography recordings as well as cognitive and behavioral assessments were acquired at 24 months as part of prospective, longitudinal study of infant siblings of children with and without autism. Diagnosis of autism was determined at 24-36 months, and data were analyzed across three outcome groups-low-risk without ASD (n = 43), high-risk without ASD (n = 42), and high-risk with ASD (n = 16). High-risk toddlers without ASD had reduced baseline frontal gamma power (30-50 Hz) compared to low-risk toddlers. Among high-risk toddlers increased frontal gamma was only marginally associated with ASD diagnosis (P = 0.06), but significantly associated with reduced expressive language ability (P = 0.007). No association between gamma power and language was present in the low-risk group. These findings suggest that differences in gamma oscillations in high-risk toddlers may represent compensatory mechanisms associated with improved developmental outcomes. Autism Res 2019, 12: 1211-1224. (c) 2019 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: This study looked at differences in neural activity in the gamma range and its association with language in toddlers with and without increased risk for ASD. At 2 years of age, gamma power was lower in high-risk toddlers without ASD compared to a low-risk comparison group. Among high-risk toddlers both with and without later ASD, reduced gamma power was also associated with better language outcomes, suggesting that gamma power may be a marker of language development in high-risk children.

Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Cross-frequency coupling Eeg Phase bias Phelan-McDermid syndrome Power Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Phelan-McDermid Syndrome (PMS) is a rare condition caused by deletion or mutation of the SHANK3 gene. Individuals with PMS frequently present with intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, and other neurodevelopmental challenges. Electroencephalography (EEG) can provide a window into network-level function in PMS. METHODS: Here, we analyze EEG data collected across multiple sites in individuals with PMS (n?=?26) and typically developing individuals (n?=?15). We quantify oscillatory power, alpha-gamma phase-amplitude coupling strength, and phase bias, a measure of the phase of cross frequency coupling thought to reflect the balance of feedforward (bottom-up) and feedback (top-down) activity. RESULTS: We find individuals with PMS display increased alpha-gamma phase bias (U?=?3.841, p?0.0005), predominantly over posterior electrodes. Most individuals with PMS demonstrate positive overall phase bias while most typically developing individuals demonstrate negative overall phase bias. Among individuals with PMS, strength of alpha-gamma phase-amplitude coupling was associated with Sameness, Ritualistic, and Compulsive behaviors as measured by the Repetitive Behavior Scales-Revised (Beta?=?0.545, p?=?0.011). CONCLUSIONS: Increased phase bias suggests potential circuit-level mechanisms underlying phenotype in PMS, offering opportunities for back-translation of findings into animal models and targeting in clinical trials.
