Abstract
AbstractObjectiveThe aim of the present study is to investigate the brain circuits or networks that underpin diagnostically specific tasks by means of group independent component analysis for FMRI toolbox (GIFT). We hypothesised that there will be neural network patterns of activation and deactivation, which correspond to real-time performance on clinical self-evaluation scales.MethodsIn total, 20 healthy controls (HC) and 22 patients with major depressive episode have been included. All subjects were scanned with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with paradigm composed of diagnostic clinical self-assessment depression scale contrasted to neutral scale. The data were processed with group independent component analysis for functional MRI toolbox and statistical parametric mapping.ResultsThe results have demonstrated that there exist positively or negatively modulated brain networks during processing of diagnostic specific task questions for depressive disorder. There have also been confirmed differences in the networks processing diagnostic versus off blocks between patients and controls in anterior cingulate cortex and middle frontal gyrus. Diagnostic conditions (depression scale) when contrasted to neutral conditions demonstrate differential activity of right superior frontal gyrus and right middle cingulate cortex in the comparison of patients with HC.ConclusionPotential neuroimaging of state-dependent biomarkers has been directly linked with clinical assessment self-evaluation scale, administered as stimuli simultaneously with the fMRI acquisition. It may be regarded as further evidence in support of the convergent capacity of both methods to distinguish groups by means of incremental translational cross-validation.
