Abstract

Background To investigate microstructure of white matter fiber tracts in pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods A diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) study was conducted at 3 Tesla on age- and IQ-matched children and adolescents with PBD (n = 13), ADHD (n = 13), and healthy control subjects (HC) (n = 15). Three DTI parameters, fractional anisotropy (FA), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and regional fiber coherence index (r-FCI), were examined in eight fiber tracts: anterior corona radiata (ACR), anterior limb of the internal capsule (ALIC), superior region of the internal capsule (SRI), posterior limb of the internal capsule (PLIC), superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF), inferior longitudinal fasciculus (ILF), cingulum (CG), and splenium (SP).Results Significantly lower FA was observed in ACR in both PBD and ADHD relative to HC. In addition, FA and r-FCI values were significantly lower in ADHD relative to PBD and HC in both the ALIC and the SRI. Further, ADC was significantly greater in ADHD relative to both the PBD and HC in ACR, ALIC, PLIC, SRI, CG, ILF, and SLF.Conclusions Decreased FA in ACR implies an impaired fiber density or reduced myelination in both PBD and ADHD in this prefrontal tract. These abnormalities, together with the reduced fiber coherence, extended to corticobulbar tracts in ADHD. Increased ADC across multiple white matter tracts in ADHD indicates extensive cellular abnormalities with less diffusion restriction in ADHD relative to PBD.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In ADHD, reduced FA in the cingulum is sometimes, but not consistently, reported.

    “highlight the variable pattern of changes in which reduced FA in the cingulum is sometimes, but not consistently, reported (Makris et al., 2007; Pavuluri et al., 2009; Chiang et al., 2016; Table 2).”

    From The cingulum bundle: Anatomy, function, and dysfunction (2018) · cites this paper as Pavuluri et al., 2009

  • Structural characteristics of the anterior cingulate have been found to be related to self-regulation in a number of neurodevelopmental conditions.

    “its structural characteristics have been found to be related to self-regulation in a number of neurodevelopmental conditions (9–13, 32, 50, 51).”

    From Multimodal imaging of the self-regulating developing brain (2012) · cites this paper as [9]

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
