ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
As a crucial node of the corticolimbic model, the striatum has been demonstrated in modulating emotional cues in pediatric bipolar disorders (PBD), the striatal distinction in structure and function between PBD-I and PBD-II remains unclear.METHODS:
MRI data of 36 patients in PBD-I, 22 patients in PBD-II and 19 age-gender matched healthy controls (HCs) were processed. Here, we investigated structural and functional alterations of 8 subregions of striatum (bilateral nucleus accumbens, caudate, putamen and globus pallidus) by analyzing MRI data.RESULTS:
We found volume reduction of the right pallidum, the significant positive correlation between the number of episodes and the functional connectivity between left pallidum and right caudate in PBD-I patients, abrupted prefrontal-striatal-thalamic functional connectivity in PBD-I group and decreased functional connectivity in PBD-II relative to HCs and PBD-I.LIMITATIONS:
Future studies should enroll more subjects and adopt a longitudinal perspective, which could help to discover striatum structural or functional alterations during subject-specific clinical progress in different states.CONCLUSIONS:
Results of the present study confirmed that structural and functional abnormality of striatum may be helpful in identifying PBD clinical types as distinctive biomarkers. The interruptions of the prefrontal-striatal-thalamic circuits may provide advantageous evidence for expounding the role of striatum in bipolar disorders etiology. Thus, potential mechanisms of dysfunction striatum need to be formulated and reconceptualized with multimodal neuroimaging studies in future.Palavras-chave
