Abnormal lateralization of functional connectivity between language and default mode regions in autism / Jared NIELSEN in Molecular Autism, (February 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inMolecular Autism > (February 2014) Titre : Abnormal lateralization of functional connectivity between language and default mode regions in autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jared NIELSEN, Auteur ; Brandon ZIELINSKI, Auteur ; P FLETCHER, Auteur ; Andrew A. ALEXANDER, Auteur ; Nicholas LANGE, Auteur ; Erin D. BIGLER, Auteur ; Janet E. LAINHART, Auteur ; Jeffrey S. ANDERSON, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Lateralization of brain structure and function occurs in typical development, and abnormal lateralization is present in various neuropsychiatric disorders. Autism is characterized by a lack of left lateralization in structure and function of regions involved in language, such as Broca and Wernicke areas. Using functional connectivity magnetic resonance imaging from a large publicly available sample (n=964), we tested whether abnormal functional lateralization in autism exists preferentially in language regions or in a more diffuse pattern across networks of lateralized brain regions. The autism group exhibited significantly reduced left lateralization in a few connections involving language regions and regions from the default mode network, but results were not significant throughout left- and right-lateralized networks. There is a trend that suggests the lack of left lateralization in a connection involving Wernicke area and the posterior cingulate cortex associates with more severe autism. Abnormal language lateralization in autism may be due to abnormal language development rather than to a deficit in hemispheric specialization of the entire brain.

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

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.

Brainstem White Matter Predicts Individual Differences in Manual Motor Difficulties and Symptom Severity in Autism / Brittany G. TRAVERS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-9 (September 2015)

This study investigated if atypical white matter microstructure in the brain mediated the relationship between motor skills and ASD symptom severity. Sixty-seven males with ASD and 42 males with typical development (5–33 years old) completed a diffusion tensor imaging scan and measures of grip strength, finger tapping, and autism symptom severity. Within the ASD group, weaker grip strength predicted more severe autism symptoms. Fractional anisotropy of the brainstem’s corticospinal tract predicted both grip strength and autism symptom severity and mediated the relationship between the two. These findings suggest that brainstem white matter may contribute to autism symptoms and grip strength in ASD.

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.
