Structural Brain Connectivity and Treatment Improvement in Mood Disorder

Résumé

Background: The treatment of depressive episodes is well established, with clearly demonstrated effectiveness of antidepressants and psychotherapies. However, more than one-third of depressed patients do not respond to treatment. Identifying the brain structural basis of treatment-resistant depression could prevent useless pharmacological prescriptions, adverse events, and lost therapeutic opportunities. Methods: Using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging, we performed structural connectivity analyses on a cohort of 154 patients with mood disorder (MD) – and 77 sex- and age-matched healthy control (HC) participants. To assess illness improvement, the MD patients went through two clinical interviews at baseline and at 6-month follow-up and were classified based on the Clinical Global Impression-Improvement score into improved or not-improved. First, the threshold-free network-based statistics was conducted to measure the differences in regional network architecture. Second, nonparametric permutations tests were performed on topological metrics based on graph theory to examine differences in connectome organization. Results: The threshold-free network-based statistics revealed impaired connections involving regions of the basal ganglia in MD patients compared to HC. Significant increase of local efficiency and clustering coefficient was found in the lingual gyrus, insula and amygdala in the MD group. Compared with the not-improved, the improved displayed significantly reduced network integration and segregation, predominately in the default-mode regions, including the precuneus, middle temporal lobe and rostral anterior cingulate. Conclusions: This study highlights the involvement of regions belonging to the basal ganglia, the fronto-limbic network and the default mode network, leading to a better understanding of MD disease and its unfavorable outcome.
