Psychiatric sequelae of exposure to parental verbal abuse (PVA) appears to be comparable to that of non-familial sexual abuse and witnessing domestic violence. Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) was used to ascertain whether PVA was associated with abnormalities in brain white matter (WM) tract integrity. 1271 healthy young adults were screened for exposure to childhood adversity. DTI was collected on 16 unmedicated subjects with history of high-level exposure to PVA but no other form of maltreatment (4M/12F, mean age 21.9±2.4 yrs), and 16 healthy controls (5M/11F, 21.0±1.6 yrs). Group differences in fractional anisotropy (FA), covaried by parental education and income, were assessed using Tract-Based Spatial Statistics (TBSS), and correlated with symptom ratings and verbal IQ. Three WM tract regions had significantly reduced FA: (1) arcuate fasciculus in left superior temporal gyrus, (2) cingulum bundle by the posterior tail of the left hippocampus, and (3) the left body of the fornix. FA in these areas were strongly associated with average PVA scores (rs=-0.701, P<0.001; rs=-0.801, P<0.001; rs=0.524, P=0.002, respectively), and levels of maternal verbal abuse. Across groups FA in region 1 correlated with verbal IQ (rs=0.411, P=0.024) and verbal comprehension index (rs=0.437, P=0.016). FA in region 2 was inversely associated with ratings of depression (rs=-0.504), dissociation (rs=-0.373) and ‘limbic irritability’ (rs= -0.602). FA in region 3 was inversely correlated with ratings of somatization (rs=-0.389) and anxiety (rs=-0.311). Exposure to PVA may be associated with alteration in the integrity of neural pathways with implications for language development and psychopathology.
