Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry
  • Biomarkers

Background:

  • Lifestyle interventions like exercise and mindfulness can improve mental health and brain network function.
  • Impacts of combined interventions on intrinsic connectivity network (ICN) dynamics are not well understood.
  • EEG-derived ICN measures may serve as biomarkers for mood disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess EEG-derived ICN dynamics as mood disorder markers.
  • To investigate the effects of aerobic exercise and mindfulness neurofeedback on ICNs.
  • To explore synergistic effects of combined interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal study with 8-week interventions (Control, Running, Neurofeedback, Combined).
  • EEG-based neuroimaging before and after interventions during working memory and autobiographical recall tasks.
  • Categorization of participants into 'responders' and 'non-responders' based on intervention outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Combined exercise and neurofeedback improved CEN-SN synchrony in responders compared to individual interventions.
  • Non-responders showed maladaptive DMN-SN synchrony, potentially linked to rumination.
  • Baseline CEN-SN synchrony predicted neurofeedback response with 80% accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • Combined exercise and neurofeedback interventions show potential for enhancing mental health.
  • EEG-derived ICN synchrony patterns can serve as biomarkers for treatment response.
  • Network-based biomarkers may enable personalized intervention strategies for mood disorders.
