Autism Spectrum Disorder

931
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.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Brain activity lateralization differences in infants later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) emerge by 12 months. Developmental trajectories in brain oscillatory activity reveal distinct patterns in infants at elevated ASD likelihood compared to controls.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Pediatric Neurology

Background:

  • Brain lateralization is crucial for language and attention.
  • Atypical lateralization patterns are linked to neurodevelopmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
  • The developmental timing of these patterns in relation to emerging ASD characteristics remains unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate brain lateralization patterns in infants during their first year of life.
  • To examine developmental trajectories of brain activity lateralization in infants at elevated likelihood for ASD and age-equivalent controls.
  • To identify early neural markers associated with ASD development.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized longitudinal data from the International Infant EEG Data Integration Platform (EEG-IP).
  • Analyzed electroencephalography (EEG) power to assess brain lateralization in infants at 6 and 12 months of age.
  • Compared infants later diagnosed with ASD to age-equivalent control infants across two sites.

Main Results:

  • Differences in gamma band lateralization were observed in infants later diagnosed with ASD at 12 months, but not at 6 months.
  • Control infants showed a developmental shift from left gamma band asymmetry at 6 months towards greater symmetry by 12 months.
  • Significant differences in lateralization were identified within the auditory network regions between the groups.

Conclusions:

  • Developmental trajectories of brain lateralization, particularly in the gamma band within the auditory network, differentiate infants who later develop ASD.
  • These findings highlight the importance of studying developmental changes in brain activity for understanding neurodevelopmental disorders.
  • Early identification of atypical lateralization patterns may contribute to more accurate models of brain development and ASD mechanisms.
