White Matter and Visuospatial Processing in Autism: A Constrained Spherical Deconvolution Tractography Study / Jane MCGRATH in Autism Research, 6-5 (October 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 6-5 (October 2013) . - p.307-319 Titre : White Matter and Visuospatial Processing in Autism: A Constrained Spherical Deconvolution Tractography Study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jane MCGRATH, Auteur ; Katherine JOHNSON, Auteur ; Erik O'HANLON, Auteur ; Hugh GARAVAN, Auteur ; Louise GALLAGHER, Auteur ; Alexander LEEMANS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.307-319 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : diffusion MRI  constrained spherical deconvolution  tractography  autism  visuospatial processing  inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are associated with a marked disturbance of neural functional connectivity, which may arise from disrupted organization of white matter. The aim of this study was to use constrained spherical deconvolution (CSD)-based tractography to isolate and characterize major intrahemispheric white matter tracts that are important in visuospatial processing. CSD-based tractography avoids a number of critical confounds that are associated with diffusion tensor tractography, and to our knowledge, this is the first time that this advanced diffusion tractography method has been used in autism research. Twenty-five participants with ASD and aged 25, intelligence quotient-matched controls completed a high angular resolution diffusion imaging scan. The inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF) and arcuate fasciculus were isolated using CSD-based tractography. Quantitative diffusion measures of white matter microstructural organization were compared between groups and associated with visuospatial processing performance. Significant alteration of white matter organization was present in the right IFOF in individuals with ASD. In addition, poorer visuospatial processing was associated in individuals with ASD with disrupted white matter in the right IFOF. Using a novel, advanced tractography method to isolate major intrahemispheric white matter tracts in autism, this research has demonstrated that there are significant alterations in the microstructural organization of white matter in the right IFOF in ASD. This alteration was associated with poorer visuospatial processing performance in the ASD group. This study provides an insight into structural brain abnormalities that may influence atypical visuospatial processing in autism.

This study investigated the macro and microstructural properties of the corpus callosum (CC) of 18 children with ASD and 12 typically developing controls using diffusion tensor imaging tractography. We aimed to explore whether abnormalities of the CC were related to motor deficits, as well as social and communication deficits in children with ASD. The ASD group displayed abnormal macro and microstructure of the total CC and its subdivisions and its structural properties were related to socio-communicative deficits, but not to motor deficits in ASD. These findings advance our understanding of the contributions of the CC to ASD symptoms.

The striatal matrix compartment is expanded in autism spectrum disorder / Jeff L. WAUGH in Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 17 (2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders > 17 (2025) Titre : The striatal matrix compartment is expanded in autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jeff L. WAUGH, Auteur ; Asim O.A. HASSAN, Auteur ; Adrian T. FUNK, Auteur ; Joseph A. MALDJIAN, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Humans  Autism Spectrum Disorder/diagnostic imaging/pathology  Male  Child  Female  Corpus Striatum/diagnostic imaging/pathology  Adult  Adolescent  Diffusion Tensor Imaging  Young Adult  Cohort Studies  Autism  Connectivity-based Parcellation  Matrix  Striatum  Striosome  Tractography  and supervised by our Institutional Review Board. All analyses were carried out  on de-identified MRI data. Consent was obtained by the studies that originated  that MRI data. Consent for publication: No individually-identifiable data is  presented in this manuscript. Competing interests: The authors declare no  competing interests. Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is the second-most common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood. This complex developmental disorder manifests with restricted interests, repetitive behaviors, and difficulties in communication and social awareness. The inherited and acquired causes of ASD impact many and diverse brain regions, challenging efforts to identify a shared neuroanatomical substrate for this range of symptoms. The striatum and its connections are among the most implicated sites of abnormal structure and/or function in ASD. Striatal projection neurons develop in segregated tissue compartments, the matrix and striosome, that are histochemically, pharmacologically, and functionally distinct. Immunohistochemical assessment of ASD and animal models of autism described abnormal matrix:striosome volume ratios, with an possible shift from striosome to matrix volume. Shifting the matrix:striosome ratio could result from expansion in matrix, reduction in striosome, spatial redistribution of the compartments, or a combination of these changes. Each type of ratio-shifting abnormality may predispose to ASD but yield different combinations of ASD features. METHODS: We developed a cohort of 426 children and adults (213 matched ASD-control pairs) and performed connectivity-based parcellation (diffusion tractography) of the striatum. This identified voxels with matrix-like and striosome-like patterns of structural connectivity. RESULTS: Matrix-like volume was increased in ASD, with no evident change in the volume or organization of the striosome-like compartment. The inter-compartment volume difference (matrix minus striosome) within each individual was 31% larger in ASD. Matrix-like volume was increased in both caudate and putamen, and in somatotopic zones throughout the rostral-caudal extent of the striatum. Subjects with moderate elevations in ADOS (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule) scores had increased matrix-like volume, but those with highly elevated ADOS scores had 3.7-fold larger increases in matrix-like volume. CONCLUSIONS: Matrix and striosome are embedded in distinct structural and functional networks, suggesting that compartment-selective injury or maldevelopment may mediate specific and distinct clinical features. Previously, assessing the striatal compartments in humans required post mortem tissue. Striatal parcellation provides a means to assess neuropsychiatric diseases for compartment-specific abnormalities. While this ASD cohort had increased matrix-like volume, other mechanisms that shift the matrix:striosome ratio may also increase the chance of developing the diverse social, sensory, and motor phenotypes of ASD.

Altered Cortical Thickness and Tract Integrity of the Mirror Neuron System and Associated Social Communication in Autism Spectrum Disorder / Hsiang-Yun CHIEN in Autism Research, 8-6 (December 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 8-6 (December 2015) . - p.694-708 Titre : Altered Cortical Thickness and Tract Integrity of the Mirror Neuron System and Associated Social Communication in Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Hsiang-Yun CHIEN, Auteur ; Susan Shur-Fen GAU, Auteur ; Yung-Chin HSU, Auteur ; Yu-Jen CHEN, Auteur ; Yu-Chun LO, Auteur ; Yao-Chia SHIH, Auteur ; Wen-Yih Isaac TSENG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.694-708 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  mirror neuron system  diffusion spectrum imaging  cortical thickness  white matter integrity  tractography  social communication Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Previous studies using neural activity recording and neuroimaging techniques have reported functional deficits in the mirror neuron system (MNS) for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, a few studies focusing on gray and white matter structures of the MNS have yielded inconsistent results. The current study recruited adolescents and young adults with ASD (aged 15–26 years) and age-matched typically developing (TD) controls (aged 14–25 years). The cortical thickness (CT) and microstructural integrity of the tracts connecting the regions forming the classical MNS were investigated. High-resolution T1-weighted imaging and diffusion spectrum imaging were performed to quantify the CT and tract integrity, respectively. The structural covariance of the CT of the MNS regions revealed a weaker coordination of the MNS network in ASD. A strong correlation was found between the integrity of the right frontoparietal tracts and the social communication subscores measured by the Chinese version of the Social Communication Questionnaire. The results showed that there were no significant mean differences in the CTs and tract integrity between the ASD and TD groups, but revealed a moderate or even reverse age effect on the frontal MNS structures in ASD. In conclusion, aberrant structural coordination may be an underlying factor affecting the function of the MNS in ASD patients. The association between the right frontoparietal tracts and social communication performance implies a neural correlate of communication processing in the autistic brain. This study provides evidence of abnormal MNS structures and their influence on social communication in individuals with ASD.

Altered Structure–Function Relations of Semantic Processing in Youths with High-Functioning Autism: A Combined Diffusion and Functional MRI Study / Yu-Chun LO in Autism Research, 6-6 (December 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 6-6 (December 2013) . - p.561-570 Titre : Altered Structure–Function Relations of Semantic Processing in Youths with High-Functioning Autism: A Combined Diffusion and Functional MRI Study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Yu-Chun LO, Auteur ; Tai-Li CHOU, Auteur ; Li-Ying FAN, Auteur ; Susan Shur-Fen GAU, Auteur ; Yen-Nan CHIU, Auteur ; Wen-Yih Isaac TSENG, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p.561-570 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  dual stream model  diffusion spectrum imaging  functional MRI  tractography Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Deficits in language and communication are among the core symptoms of autism, a common neurodevelopmental disorder with long-term impairment. Despite the striking nature of the autistic language impairment, knowledge about its corresponding alterations in the brain is still evolving. We hypothesized that the dual stream language network is altered in autism, and that this alteration could be revealed by changes in the relationships between microstructural integrity and functional activation. The study recruited 20 right-handed male youths with autism and 20 carefully matched individually, typically developing (TD) youths. Microstructural integrity of the left dorsal and left ventral pathways responsible for language processing and the functional activation of the connected brain regions were investigated by using diffusion spectrum imaging and functional magnetic resonance imaging of a semantic task, respectively. Youths with autism had significantly poorer language function, and lower functional activation in left dorsal and left ventral regions of the language network, compared with TD youths. The TD group showed a significant correlation of the functional activation of the left dorsal region with microstructural integrity of the left ventral pathway, whereas the autism group showed a significant correlation of the functional activation of the left ventral region with microstructural integrity of the left dorsal pathway, and moreover verbal comprehension index was correlated with microstructural integrity of the left ventral pathway. These altered structure–function relationships in autism suggest possible involvement of the dual pathways in supporting deficient semantic processing.
