Abstract

Background Schizophrenia is hypothesized to involve disordered connectivity between brain regions. Currently, there are no direct measures of brain connectivity; functional and structural connectivity used separately provide only limited insight. Simultaneous measure of anatomical and functional connectivity and its interactions allow for better understanding of schizophrenia-related alternations in brain connectivity. Methods 27 schizophrenia patients and 27 healthy controls undergone MRI imaging using resting state fMRI and Diffusion Tensor Imaging. Separate functional and anatomical connectivity maps were calculated and combined for each subject. Global, regional and voxel measures and K-means network analysis were employed to identify group differences and correlation with clinical symptoms. Results A global connectivity analysis indicated that patients had lower anatomical connectivity and lower coherence between the two imaging modalities. In schizophrenia these group differences correlated with clinical symptom severity. While anatomical connectivity nearly uniformly decreased, functional connectivity in schizophrenia was lower for some connections (e.g. middle temporal gyrus) and higher for others (e.g. cingulate and thalamus). Within the Default Mode Network (DMN) two separate subsystems can be identified. Schizophrenia patients showed decoupling between structural and functional connectivity that can be localized to networks originating in Posterior Cingulate Cortex as well as in the Task Positive Network and one of DMN components. Conclusions Combining two measures of brain connectivity provides more comprehensive descriptions of altered brain connectivity underlying schizophrenia. Patients show deficits in white matter anatomy but functional connectivity alterations are more complex. Fusion of both methods allows identification of subsystems showing both increased and decreased functional connectivity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
