Corticostriatal functional connectivity in non-medicated patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder

The basal ganglia represents a key component of the pathophysiological model for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This brain region is part of several neural circuits, including the orbitofronto-striatal circuit and dorsolateral prefronto-striatal circuit. There are, however, no published studies investigating those circuits at a network level in non-medicated patients with OCD. Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans were obtained from 20 non-medicated patients with OCD and 23 matched healthy volunteers. Voxelwise statistical parametric maps testing strength of functional connectivity of three striatal seed regions of interest (ROIs) with remaining brain regions were calculated and compared between groups. We performed additional correlation analyses between strength of connectivity and the severity scores for obsessive-compulsive symptoms, depression, and anxiety in the OCD group. Positive functional connectivity with the ventral striatum was significantly increased (P_corrected <.05) in the orbitofrontal cortex, ventral medial prefrontal cortex and dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex of subjects with OCD. There was no significant correlation between measures of symptom severity and the strength of connectivity (P_uncorrected <.001). This is the first study to investigate the corticostriatal connectivity in non-medicated patients with OCD. These findings provide the first direct evidence supporting a pathophysiological model involving basal ganglia circuitry in OCD.     

Blunted activation in orbitofrontal cortex during mania: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study.

BACKGROUND: Patients with bipolar disorder have been reported to have abnormal cortical function during mania. In this study, we sought to investigate neural activity in the frontal lobe during mania, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Specifically, we sought to evaluate activation in the lateral orbitofrontal cortex, a brain region that is normally activated during activities that require response inhibition. METHODS: Eleven manic subjects and 13 control subjects underwent fMRI while performing the Go-NoGo task, a neuropsychological paradigm known to activate the orbitofrontal cortex in normal subjects. Patterns of whole-brain activation during fMRI scanning were determined with statistical parametric mapping. Contrasts were made for each subject for the NoGo minus Go conditions. Contrasts were used in a second-level analysis with subject as a random factor. RESULTS: Functional MRI data revealed robust activation of the right orbitofrontal cortex (Brodmann's area [BA] 47) in control subjects but not in manic subjects. Random-effects analyses demonstrated significantly less magnitude in signal intensity in the right lateral orbitofrontal cortex (BA 47), right hippocampus, and left cingulate (BA 24) in manic compared with control subjects. CONCLUSIONS: Mania is associated with a significant attenuation of task-related activation of right lateral orbitofrontal function. This lack of activation of a brain region that is usually involved in suppression of responses might account for some of the disinhibition seen in mania. In addition, hippocampal and cingulate activation seem to be decreased. The relationship between this reduced function and the symptoms of mania remain to be further explored.     

Altered fMRI-derived functional connectivity in patients with high-tension glaucoma

BackgroundHigh-tension glaucoma (HTG) is associated with functional changes in the brain, and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of the major causes.PurposeTo evaluate the effects of high IOP on the brain in patients with HTG by using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI).Materials and methodsThirty-six patients with HTG and 20 age- and gender-matched healthy controls (HCs) were recruited and underwent IOP examination and rs-fMRI scan. Voxel-wise functional connectivity (FC) values were obtained between the Brodmann Area (BA) 17 (primary visual cortex) and the rest of the brain, two-sample t test was performed between HTG group and HCs. Correlation analysis was performed between FC and clinical information.ResultsCompared with HCs, HTG patients demonstrated decreased FC between BA 17 and the right precuneus gyrus, decreased FC between BA 17 and the right superior frontal gyrus (SFG) (GRF corrected at voxel level P < 0.001 and cluster level P < 0.05, two-tailed). FC between BA 17 and the right SFG showed significantly negative correlation with right eyes’ IOP and mean IOP.ConclusionHTG patients had abnormal FC changes between the visual cortex and multiple functional brain regions related to visual sense, memory consolidation and cognitive processing, which provided image support for the pathophysiology research of HTG, and revealed new targets for the accurate treatment of HTG.     

长期海洛因依赖者前额叶功能连接的变化

以前额叶为种子点,利用静息态fMRI进行全脑时域相关的功能连接分析,观察长期海洛因成瘾者前额叶功能连接的变化。结果发现相比于正常对照,以左侧前额叶为种子点进行功能连接分析,海洛因成瘾者左侧前额叶与左侧海马、右侧前扣带回、左侧额中回、右侧额中回、右侧楔前叶功能连接明显降低;以右侧前额叶为种子点进行功能连接分析,海洛因成瘾者右侧前额叶与左侧眶额叶、左侧额中回功能连接明显降低。提示长期海洛因成瘾者前额叶与相关脑区的功能连接减弱,可能与海洛因成瘾的维持与戒断后复吸相关。     

Anatomic evaluation of the orbitofrontal cortex in major depressive disorder.

BACKGROUND: The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) plays a major role in neuropsychologic functioning including exteroceptive and interoceptive information coding, reward-guided behavior, impulse control, and mood regulation. This study examined the OFC and its subdivisions in patients with MDD and matched healthy control subjects. METHODS: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed on 31 unmedicated MDD and 34 control subjects matched for age, gender, and race. Gray matter volumes of the OFC and its lateral and medial subdivisions were measured blindly. RESULTS: The MDD patients had smaller gray matter volumes in right medial [two-way analysis of covariance F(1,60) = 4.285; p =.043] and left lateral OFC [F(1,60) = 4.252; p =.044]. Left lateral OFC volume correlated negatively with age in patients but not in control subjects. Male, but not female patients exhibited smaller left and right medial OFC volumes compared with healthy control subjects of the same gender. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that patients with MDD have reduced OFC gray matter volumes. Although this reduction might be important in understanding the pathophysiology of MDD, its functional and psychopathologic consequences are as yet unclear. Future studies examining the relationship between specific symptomatic dimensions of MDD and OFC volumes could be especially informative.     

Frequency-specific alterations in functional connectivity in treatment-resistant and -sensitive major depressive disorder

Major depressive disorder (MDD) may involve alterations in brain functional connectivity in multiple neural circuits and present large-scale network dysfunction. Patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and treatment-sensitive depression (TSD) show different responses to antidepressants and aberrant brain functions. This study aims to investigate functional connectivity patterns of TRD and TSD at the whole brain resting state. Seventeen patients with TRD, 17 patients with TSD, and 17 healthy controls matched with age, gender, and years of education were recruited in this study. The brain was divided using an automated anatomical labeling atlas into 90 regions of interest, which were used to construct the entire brain functional networks. An analysis method called network-based statistic was used to explore the dysconnected subnetworks of TRD and TSD at different frequency bands. At resting state, TSD and TRD present characteristic patterns of network dysfunction at special frequency bands. The dysconnected subnetwork of TSD mainly lies in the fronto-parietal top-down control network. Moreover, the abnormal neural circuits of TRD are extensive and complex. These circuits not only depend on the abnormal affective network but also involve other networks, including salience network, auditory network, visual network, and language processing cortex. Our findings reflect that the pathological mechanism of TSD may refer to impairment in cognitive control, whereas TRD mainly triggers the dysfunction of emotion processing and affective cognition. This study reveals that differences in brain functional connectivity at resting state reflect distinct pathophysiological mechanisms in TSD and TRD. These findings may be helpful in differentiating two types of MDD and predicting treatment responses.

Unsupervised classification of major depression using functional connectivity MRI

The current diagnosis of psychiatric disorders including major depressive disorder based largely on self‐reported symptoms and clinical signs may be prone to patients' behaviors and psychiatrists' bias. This study aims at developing an unsupervised machine learning approach for the accurate identification of major depression based on single resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans in the absence of clinical information. Twenty‐four medication‐naive patients with major depression and 29 demographically similar healthy individuals underwent resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging. We first clustered the voxels within the perigenual cingulate cortex into two subregions, a subgenual region and a pregenual region, according to their distinct resting‐state functional connectivity patterns and showed that a maximum margin clustering‐based unsupervised machine learning approach extracted sufficient information from the subgenual cingulate functional connectivity map to differentiate depressed patients from healthy controls with a group‐level clustering consistency of 92.5% and an individual‐level classification consistency of 92.5%. It was also revealed that the subgenual cingulate functional connectivity network with the highest discriminative power primarily included the ventrolateral and ventromedial prefrontal cortex, superior temporal gyri and limbic areas, indicating that these connections may play critical roles in the pathophysiology of major depression. The current study suggests that subgenual cingulate functional connectivity network signatures may provide promising objective biomarkers for the diagnosis of major depression and that maximum margin clustering‐based unsupervised machine learning approaches may have the potential to inform clinical practice and aid in research on psychiatric disorders.
