At present, a variety of functional metrics from neuroimaging techniques have been used to explore ASD neurological mechanisms. However, the concordance of these functional metrics in ASD is still unclear. This study used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data, which were obtained from the open-access Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange database, including 105 children with ASD and 102 demographically matched typically developing (TD) children. Both voxel-wise and volume-wise functional concordance were calculated by combining the dynamic amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations, dynamic regional homogeneity, and dynamic global signal correlation. Furthermore, a two-sample t-test was performed to compare the functional concordance between ASD and TD groups. Finally, the relationship between voxel-wise functional concordance and Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule subscores was analyzed using the multivariate support vector regression in the ASD group. Compared with the TD group, we found that ASD showed decreased voxel-wise functional concordance in the left superior temporal pole (STGp), right amygdala, and left opercular part of the inferior frontal gyrus (IFGoper). Moreover, decreased functional concordance was associated with restricted and repetitive behaviors in ASD. Our results found altered brain function in the left STGp, right amygdala, and left IFGoper in ASD by functional concordance, indicating that functional concordance may provide new insights into the neurological mechanisms of ASD.

Sex heterogeneity of dynamic brain activity and functional connectivity in autism spectrum disorder / Qi DONG ; Le GAO ; Zaifa XUE ; Xiaoxia NIU ; Rongjuan ZHOU ; Xiaonan GUO in Autism Research, 17-9 (September 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 17-9 (September 2024) . - p.1796-1809 Titre : Sex heterogeneity of dynamic brain activity and functional connectivity in autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Qi DONG, Auteur ; Le GAO, Auteur ; Zaifa XUE, Auteur ; Xiaoxia NIU, Auteur ; Rongjuan ZHOU, Auteur ; Xiaonan GUO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1796-1809 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  dynamic amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation  dynamic functional connectivity  resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging  sex heterogeneity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Sex heterogeneity has been frequently reported in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and has been linked to static differences in brain function. However, given the complexity of ASD and diagnosis-by-sex interactions, dynamic characteristics of brain activity and functional connectivity may provide important information for distinguishing ASD phenotypes between females and males. The aim of this study was to explore sex heterogeneity of functional networks in the ASD brain from a dynamic perspective. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data from the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange database were analyzed in 128 ASD subjects (64 males/64 females) and 128 typically developing control (TC) subjects (64 males/64 females). A sliding-window approach was adopted for the estimation of dynamic amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (dALFF) and dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) to characterize time-varying brain activity and functional connectivity respectively. We then examined the sex-related changes in ASD using two-way analysis of variance. Significant diagnosis-by-sex interaction effects were identified in the left anterior cingulate cortex/medial prefrontal cortex (ACC/mPFC) and left precuneus in the dALFF analysis. Furthermore, there were significant diagnosis-by-sex interaction effects of dFC variance between the left ACC/mPFC and right ACC, left postcentral gyrus, left precuneus, right middle temporal gyrus and left inferior frontal gyrus, triangular part. These findings reveal the sex heterogeneity in brain activity and functional connectivity in ASD from a dynamic perspective, and provide new evidence for further exploring sex heterogeneity in ASD.
