Tentative results from feasibility analyses are critical for planning future randomized control
trials (RCTs) in the emerging field of neural biomarkers of behavioral interventions. The cur rent feasibility study used MRI-derived diffusion imaging data to investigate whether it would
be possible to identify neural biomarkers of a behavioral intervention among people diag nosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The corpus callosum has been linked to cogni tive processing and callosal abnormalities have been previously found in people diagnosed
with ASD. We used a case-control design to evaluate the association between the type of
intervention people diagnosed with ASD had previously received and their current white
matter integrity in the corpus callosum. Twenty-six children and adolescents with ASD, with
and without a history of parent-managed behavioral intervention, underwent an MRI scan
with a diffusion data acquisition sequence. We conducted tract-based spatial statistics and
a region of interest analysis. The fractional anisotropy values (believed to indicate white mat ter integrity) in the posterior corpus callosum was significantly different across cases
(exposed to parent-managed behavioral intervention) and controls (not exposed to parent managed behavioral intervention). The effect was modulated by the intensity of the behav ioral intervention according to a dose-response relationship. The current feasibility case control study provides the basis for estimating the statistical power required for future RCTs
in this field. In addition, the study demonstrated the effectiveness of purposely-developed
motion control protocols and helped to identify regions of interest candidates. Potential clini cal applications of diffusion tensor imaging in the evaluation of treatment outcomes in ASD
are discussed
