Abstract

Background: Depression is prevalent and typically has its onset in adolescence. Resting‐state fMRI could help create a better understanding of the underlying neurobiological mechanisms during this critical period. In this study, resting‐state functional connectivity ( RSFC ) is examined using seed regions‐of‐interest ( ROI s) associated with three networks: the limbic network, the default mode network ( DMN ) and the salience network. Methods: Twenty‐six treatment‐naïve, clinically depressed adolescents of whom 18 had comorbid anxiety, and 26 pair‐wise matched healthy controls underwent resting‐state fMRI . The three networks were investigated using a seed‐based ROI approach with seeds in the bilateral amygdala (limbic network), bilateral dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (d ACC ; salience network) and bilateral posterior cingulate cortex (default mode network). Results: Compared to healthy controls, clinically depressed adolescents showed increased RSFC of the left amygdala with right parietal cortical areas, and decreased right amygdala RSFC with left frontal cortical areas including the ACC , as well as with right occipito‐parietal areas. The bilateral dACC showed decreased RSFC with the right middle frontal gyrus, frontal pole, and inferior frontal gyrus in clinically depressed adolescents. No abnormalities in DMN RSFC were found, and differences in RSFC did not correlate with clinical measures. Conclusions: The aberrant RSFC of the amygdala network and the d ACC network may be related to altered emotion processing and regulation in depressed adolescents. Our results provide new insights into RSFC in clinically depressed adolescents and future models on adolescent depression may include abnormalities in the connectivity of salience network.

  • Studies of children and adolescents with major depressive disorder found increased connectivity between the amygdala and parietal and occipital cortices.

    “Notably, studies that have examined amygdalar RSFC in children and adolescents with major depressive disorder have found increased connectivity of the amygdala with parietal and occipital cortices (Cullen et al., 2014, Jacobs et al., 2014, Pannekoek et al., 2014);”

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.
