Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

987
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

787
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Auditory Neuroscience

Background:

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) involves social and communication challenges.
  • Auditory spatial attention, crucial for social interaction, is understudied in ASD.
  • Prior research suggests atypical auditory processing in ASD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate neural differences in passive auditory spatial attention in children with ASD.
  • Compare brain activity and functional connectivity between ASD and Typically Developing (TD) children.
  • Examine the relationship between neural findings and behavioral outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Used source-localized magnetoencephalography (MEG) on children with ASD and TD controls.
  • Presented passive, non-social auditory stimuli with "stay" and "jump" location changes.
  • Applied linear mixed effects modeling and functional connectivity analyses.

Main Results:

  • ASD group exhibited lower cortical activation in the auditory cortex for "jump" trials.
  • ASD group showed higher alpha-band functional connectivity between auditory and prefrontal/parietal regions.
  • Connectivity patterns correlated with auditory processing scores and ASD symptom severity.

Conclusions:

  • Neural mechanisms of auditory spatial attention differ in children with ASD.
  • Findings support altered sound orientation processing, even passively, in ASD.
  • These differences may contribute to social communication challenges in ASD.
