[在患有重度抑郁症的患者中,腹核的异常功能连接和结构-功能合]
概括
大型抑郁症 (MDD) 与增加的核结合体 (NAc) 功能连接 (FC) 和减少的结构功能合 (SFC) 有关. 这些发现表明,MDD患者的大脑奖励和认知网络中的整合受损.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 精神病学是一个精神病学.
- 医疗成像医学成像
背景情况:
- 重度抑郁症 (MDD) 是一种普遍存在的心理健康状况,其基础机制复杂且不完全理解.
- 核 (NAc) 对于奖励处理和情绪调节至关重要,其异常与MDD有关.
- 以前的研究表明,MDD中的结构和功能NAc变化,但结构和功能的整合 (结构功能合,SFC) 仍然不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 在被诊断为MDD的患者中调查NAc的异常功能连接 (FC) 和SFC.
- 整合功能磁共振成像 (fMRI) 和扩散张力成像 (DTI) 来检查MDD中的NAc变化.
- 探索NAc连接,SFC和抑郁症状严重程度之间的关系.
主要方法:
- 一项涉及MDD患者和匹配的健康对照 (HC) 的病例控制研究.
- 从所有参与者身上获得了高分辨率结构MRI,静止状态fMRI和DTI.
- 在NAc和全脑区域之间计算了FC,而结构连接 (sSC) 来自DTI. SFC被计算为sSC和FC之间的相关性. 使用独立样本t测试和ANCOVA分析了群体差异,并对多次比较进行了校正.
主要成果:
- 与HC患者相比,MDD患者在NAc和大脑区域之间显著增加了FC,包括下叶和中额头,与HCs相比.
- 与HC组相比,在MDD组观察到双边NAc的SFC显著减少.
- 在MDD组中,改变的FC或SFC值和汉密尔顿抑郁症评分表 (HAMD-17) 评分之间没有发现显著的相关性.
结论:
- MDD与增强的NAc功能连接相关,特别是与认知控制区域,表明奖励和认知网络的潜在不平衡.
- 在MDD中降低NAc SFC表明在这个关键的大脑区域内结构功能整合受损.
- 这些神经成像发现支持NAc在重大抑郁症病理生理学中的作用.

Depressive Disorders: MDD and Dysthymia
618
Depressive disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by pervasive feelings of sadness, diminished pleasure in life, and a significant impact on daily functioning. These conditions are most prevalent in individuals during their 30s and affect women at twice the rate of men. Contrary to popular belief, younger individuals are generally more susceptible to these disorders than older adults. Two key types of depressive disorders include Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and...

Depressive Disorders: Etiology
433
Depressive disorders result from a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors, each contributing uniquely to the development and persistence of the condition. Understanding these factors provides critical insight into the multifaceted nature of depression.

Depression: Overview
768
Depression is a prevalent mental illness marked by persistent sadness and lack of interest in previously enjoyable activities. It can take several forms, including major depression, persistent depressive disorder, and bipolar I and II disorders. Symptoms range from emotional changes like chronic worry to physical changes like sleep disturbances and suicidal thoughts. From a neurobiological perspective, depression is believed to be triggered by abnormalities in the brain's prefrontal cortex,...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
736
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Long-term Depression
33.1K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.
