Alterations in the inferior longitudinal fasciculus in autism and associations with visual processing: a diffusion-weighted MRI study / Bart BOETS in Molecular Autism, 9 (2018)
[article]
Titre : Alterations in the inferior longitudinal fasciculus in autism and associations with visual processing: a diffusion-weighted MRI study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Bart BOETS, Auteur ; L. VAN EYLEN, Auteur ; K. SITEK, Auteur ; P. MOORS, Auteur ; I. NOENS, Auteur ; J. STEYAERT, Auteur ; S. SUNAERT, Auteur ; J. WAGEMANS, Auteur Article en page(s) : 10p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder Diffusion-weighted imaging Inferior longitudinal fasciculus Structural connectivity Visual processing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: One of the most reported neural features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is the alteration of multiple long-range white matter fiber tracts, as assessed by diffusion-weighted imaging and indexed by reduced fractional anisotropy (FA). Recent methodological advances, however, have shown that this same pattern of reduced FA may be an artifact resulting from excessive head motion and poorer data quality and that aberrant structural connectivity in children with ASD is confined to the right inferior longitudinal fasciculus (ILF). This study aimed at replicating the observation of reduced FA along the right ILF in ASD, while controlling for group differences in head motion and data quality. In addition, we explored associations between reduced FA in the right ILF and quantitative ASD characteristics, and the involvement of the right ILF in visual processing, which is known to be altered in ASD. Method: Global probabilistic tractography was performed on diffusion-weighted imaging data of 17 adolescent boys with ASD and 17 typically developing boys, matched for age, performance IQ, handedness, and data quality. Four tasks were administered to measure various aspects of visual information processing, together with questionnaires assessing ASD characteristics. Group differences were examined and the neural data were integrated with previously published findings using Bayesian statistics to quantify evidence for replication and to pool data and thus increase statistical power. (Partial) correlations were calculated to investigate associations between measures. Results: The ASD group showed consistently reduced FA only in the right ILF and slower performance on the visual search task. Bayesian statistics pooling data across studies confirmed that group differences in FA were confined to the right ILF only, with the evidence for altered FA in the left ILF being indecisive. Lower FA in the right ILF tended to covary with slower visual search and a more fragmented part-oriented processing style. Individual differences in FA of the right ILF were not reliably associated with the severity of ASD traits after controlling for clinical status. Conclusion: Our findings support the growing evidence for reduced FA along a specific fiber tract in ASD, the right ILF.

Titre : Local and Global Visual Processing in Autism Spectrum Disorders: Influence of Task and Sample Characteristics and Relation to Symptom Severity Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : L. VAN EYLEN, Auteur ; Bart BOETS, Auteur ; J. STEYAERT, Auteur ; J. WAGEMANS, Auteur ; I. NOENS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1359-1381 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders Global processing Local processing Sample characteristics Symptom severity Visual processing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Local and global visual processing abilities and processing style were investigated in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) versus typically developing individuals, children versus adolescents and boys versus girls. Individuals with ASD displayed more attention to detail in daily life, while laboratory tasks showed slightly reduced global processing abilities, intact local processing abilities, and a more locally oriented processing style. However, the presence of these group differences depended on particular task and sample (i.e., age and gender) characteristics. Most measures of local and global processing did not correlate with each other and were not associated with processing style. Significant associations between local-global processing and ASD symptom severity were observed, but the causality of these associations remains unclear.
