Titre : Altered intrinsic functional connectivity of the cingulate cortex in children with severe temper outbursts Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Amy Krain ROY, Auteur ; Randi BENNETT, Auteur ; Jonathan POSNER, Auteur ; Leslie HULVERSHORN, Auteur ; Francisco Xavier CASTELLANOS, Auteur ; Rachel G. KLEIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.571-579 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Severe temper outbursts (STO) in children are associated with impaired school and family functioning and may contribute to negative outcomes. These outbursts can be conceptualized as excessive frustration responses reflecting reduced emotion regulation capacity. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been implicated in negative affect as well as emotional control, and exhibits disrupted function in children with elevated irritability and outbursts. This study examined the intrinsic functional connectivity (iFC) of a region of the ACC, the anterior midcingulate cortex (aMCC), in 5- to 9-year-old children with STO (n = 20), comparing them to children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) without outbursts (ADHD; n = 18). Additional analyses compared results to a sample of healthy children (HC; n = 18) and examined specific associations with behavioral and emotional dysregulation. Compared to the ADHD group, STO children exhibited reduced iFC between the aMCC and surrounding regions of the ACC, and increased iFC between the aMCC and precuneus. These differences were also seen between the STO and HC groups; ADHD and HC groups did not differ. Specificity analyses found associations between aMCC–ACC connectivity and hyperactivity, and between aMCC–precuneus iFC and emotion dysregulation. Disruption in aMCC networks may underlie the behavioral and emotional dysregulation characteristic of children with STO.

Titre : Causal effects of psychostimulants on neural connectivity: a mechanistic, randomized clinical trial Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yun WANG, Auteur ; Ellen KESSEL, Auteur ; Seonjoo LEE, Auteur ; Susie HONG, Auteur ; Elizabeth RAFFANELLO, Auteur ; Leslie A. HULVERSHORN, Auteur ; Amy MARGOLIS, Auteur ; Bradley S. PETERSON, Auteur ; Jonathan POSNER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1381-1391 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent Humans Child Young Adult Adult Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate/pharmacology/therapeutic use Central Nervous System Stimulants/pharmacology Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity Brain Mapping Brain/diagnostic imaging Magnetic Resonance Imaging Adhd Dynamic Functional MRI (fMRI) Lisdexamfetamine Striatum Structural Equation Modeling Thalamus Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Psychostimulants are frequently used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but side effects are common leading to many patients discontinuing treatment. Identifying neural mechanisms by which psychostimulants attenuate symptoms may guide the development of more refined and tolerable therapeutics. METHODS: We conducted a 12-week, randomized, placebo-controlled trial (RCT) of a long-acting amphetamine, lisdexamfetamine (LDEX), in patients with ADHD, ages 6-25 years old. Of the 58 participants who participated in the RCT, 49 completed pre- and post-RCT magnetic resonance imaging scanning with adequate data quality. Healthy controls (HCs; n=46) were included for comparison. Treatment effects on striatal and thalamic functional connectivity (FC) were identified using static (time-averaged) and dynamic (time-varying) measures and then correlated with symptom improvement. Analyses were repeated in independent samples from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study (n=103) and the ADHD-200 Consortium (n=213). RESULTS: In 49 participants (25 LDEX; 24 Placebo), LDEX increased static and decreased dynamic FC (DFC). However, only DFC was associated with the therapeutic effects of LDEX. Additionally, at baseline, DFC was elevated in unmedicated-ADHD participants relative to HCs. Independent samples yielded similar findings - ADHD was associated with increased DFC, and psychostimulants with reduced DFC. Static FC findings were inconsistent across samples. CONCLUSIONS: Changes in dynamic, but not static, FC were associated with the therapeutic effects of psychostimulants. While prior research has focused on static FC, DFC may offer a more reliable target for new ADHD interventions aimed at stabilizing network dynamics, though this needs confirmation with subsequent investigations.

STEINGLASS, Auteur ; Karin FOERDE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.378-389 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Anorexia nervosa adolescence neuroimaging reward caudate Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Adolescence is a critical developmental period for the study of anorexia nervosa (AN), an illness characterized by extreme restriction of food intake. The maturation of the reward system during adolescence combined with recent neurobiological models of AN led to the hypothesis that early on in illness, restrictive food choices would be associated with activity in nucleus accumbens reward regions, rather than caudate regions identified among adults with AN. Methods Healthy adolescents (HC, n?=?41) and adolescents with AN or atypical AN (atypAN, n?=?76) completed a Food Choice Task during fMRI scanning. Selection of high-fat foods and choice-related activation in nucleus accumbens and anterior caudate regions-of-interest (ROIs) were compared between individuals with AN/atypAN and HC. Associations were examined between choice-related activation and choice preferences among the AN group. Exploratory analyses examined associations between choice-related activation and psychological assessments among the patient group. Results Adolescents with AN or atypAN selected fewer high-fat foods than HC (t?=??5.92, p?.001). Counter to predictions, there were no significant group differences in choice-related activation in the ROIs. Among individuals with AN or atypAN, choice-related neural activity in the anterior caudate was significantly negatively associated with high-fat food selections in the task (r?=??.32, p?=?.024). In exploratory analyses, choice-related anterior caudate activation was positively associated with psychological measures of illness severity among patients (p's?.05, uncorrected). Conclusions In this large cohort of adolescents with AN/atypAN, there was no evidence of altered reward system engagement during food choice. While there was no group difference in choice-related caudate activation, the associations with choices and psychological measures continue to suggest that this neural region is implicated in illness. Longitudinal analyses will clarify whether neural variability relates to longer-term course.

WEISSMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1997-2011 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : temperament depression social support parenting intergenerational transmission Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In this three-generation longitudinal study of familial depression, we investigated the continuity of parenting styles, and major depressive disorder (MDD), temperament, and social support during childrearing as potential mechanisms. Each generation independently completed the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI), measuring individuals’ experiences of care and overprotection received from parents during childhood. MDD was assessed prospectively, up to 38 years, using the semi-structured Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (SADS). Social support and temperament were assessed using the Social Adjustment Scale “ Self-Report (SAS-SR) and Dimensions of Temperament Scales “ Revised, respectively. We first assessed transmission of parenting styles in the generation 1 to generation 2 cycle (G1→G2), including 133 G1 and their 229 G2 children (367 pairs), and found continuity of both care and overprotection. G1 MDD accounted for the association between G1→G2 experiences of care, and G1 social support and temperament moderated the transmission of overprotection. The findings were largely similar when examining these psychosocial mechanisms in 111 G2 and their spouses (G2+S) and their 136 children (G3) (a total of 223 pairs). Finally, in a subsample of families with three successive generations (G1→G2→G3), G2 experiences of overprotection accounted for the association between G1→G3 experiences of overprotection. The results of this study highlight the roles of MDD, temperament, and social support in the intergenerational continuity of parenting, which should be considered in interventions to œbreak the cycle of poor parenting practices across generations.

BACCARELLI, Auteur ; Jonathan POSNER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.299-310 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Causal explanations for the association of young motherhood with increased risk for child attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) remain unclear. Methods The ABCD Study recruited 11,878 youth from 22 sites across the United States between June 1, 2016 and October 15, 2018. This cross-sectional analysis of 8,514 children aged 8-11 years excluded 2,260 twins/triplets, 265 adopted children, and 839 younger siblings. We examined associations of maternal age with ADHD clinical range diagnoses based on the Child Behavior Checklist and NIH Toolbox Flanker Attention Scores using mixed logistic and linear regression models, respectively. We conducted confounding and causal mediation analyses using genotype array, demographic, socioeconomic, and prenatal environment data to investigate which genetic and environmental variables may explain the association between young maternal age and child ADHD. Results In crude models, each 10-year increase in maternal age was associated with 32% decreased odds of ADHD clinical range diagnosis (ORÂ =Â 0.68; 95% CI [0.59, 0.78]) and 1.09-points increased NIH Flanker Attention Scores (Î2Â = 1.09; 95% CI [0.76, 1.41]), indicating better child visual selective attention. However, adjustment for confounders weakened these associations. The strongest confounders were family income, caregiver education, and ADHD polygenic risk score for ADHD clinical range diagnoses, and family income, caregiver education, and race/ethnicity for NIH Flanker Attention Scores. Breastfeeding duration, prenatal alcohol exposure, and prenatal tobacco exposure were responsible for up to 18%, 6%, and 4% mediation, respectively. Conclusions Socioeconomic disadvantages were likely the primary explanation for the association of young maternal age with child ADHD, although genetics and modifiable environmental factors also played a role. Public policies aimed at reducing the burden of ADHD associated with young motherhood should target socioeconomic inequalities and support young pregnant women by advocating for reduced prenatal tobacco exposure and healthy breastfeeding practices after childbirth.
