ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Distinguishing between trait- and state-like neural alternations in major depressive disorder (MDD) may advance our understanding of this recurring disorder. We aimed to investigate dynamic functional connectivity alternations in unmedicated individuals with current or past MDD using co-activation pattern analyses.METHODS:
Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were acquired from individuals with first-episode current MDD (cMDD, n = 50), remitted MDD (rMDD, n = 44), and healthy controls (HCs, n = 64). Using a data-driven consensus clustering technique, four whole-brain states of spatial co-activation were identified and associated metrics (dominance, entries, transition frequency) were analyzed with respect to clinical characteristics.RESULTS:
Relative to rMDD and HC, cMDD showed increased dominance and entries of state 1 (primarily involving default mode network (DMN)), and decreased dominance of state 4 (mostly involving frontal-parietal network (FPN)). Among cMDD, state 1 entries correlated positively with trait rumination. Conversely, relative to cMDD and HC, individuals with rMDD were characterized by increased state 4 entries. Relative to HC, both MDD groups showed increased state 4-to-1 (FPN to DMN) transition frequency but reduction in state 3 (spanning visual attention, somatosensory, limbic networks), with the former metric specifically related to trait rumination.LIMITATIONS:
Further confirmation with longitudinal studies are required.CONCLUSIONS:
Regardless of symptoms, MDD was characterized by increased FPN-to-DMN transitions and reduced dominance of a hybrid network. State-related effect emerged in regions critically implicated in repetitive introspection and cognitive control. Asymptomatic individuals with past MDD were uniquely linked to increased FPN entries. Our findings identify trait-like brain network dynamics that might increase vulnerability to future MDD.Palabras clave
