Altered function and connectivity of the medial frontal cortex in pediatric obsessive compulsive disorder
Open accessAbstract
Background Exaggerated concern for correct performance has been linked to hyperactivity of the medial frontal cortex (MFC) in adult obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but the role of the MFC during the early course of illness remains poorly understood. We tested whether hyperactive MFC-based performance monitoring function relates to altered MFC connectivity within task control and default mode networks in pediatric patients.Methods Eighteen pairs of OCD and matched healthy youth underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging during performance monitoring and at rest. Task-related hyperactivations in the posterior and ventral MFC were used as seeds for connectivity analyses during task and resting state.Results In posterior MFC, patients showed greater activation of dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) than control subjects, with greater activation predicting worse performance. In ventral MFC, control subjects exhibited deactivation, whereas patients activated this region. Compared with control subjects, patients showed increased dACC-ventral MFC connectivity during task and decreased dACC-right anterior operculum and ventral MFC-posterior cingulate connectivity during rest.Conclusions Excessive activation and increased interactions of posterior and ventral MFC during performance monitoring may combine with reduced resting state connectivity of these regions within networks for task control and default mode to reflect early markers of OCD. Alteration of reciprocal interactions between these networks could potentiate the intrusion of ventral MFC-based affectively laden, self-referential thoughts, while disrupting posterior MFC-based performance-monitoring function in young patients.

“regions of the “default-mode” network (DMN) including VMPFC and posterior cingulate cortex deactivate with increases in externally-directed cognition (31-33) including that associated with error detection (34, 35).”

In the citing paper
“In OCD, enlarged volume and hyperactive function of the ACC associate with deficits of cognitive control2,3,9, while vMFC alterations – especially hyperactivity in the orbitofrontal cortex – has been linked to excessive valuation of consequences from actions3.”

In the citing paper
“However, the development of ACC cognitive control function depends not only on the maturation of its connections within FSTC, but also on its role within other brain networks (e.g., cingulopercular network for task control13) implicated in both pediatric9 and adult28 OCD.”

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.
