Limited generalizability of dynamic fMRI correlates of adolescent rumination.

ABSTRACT: Rumination, or perseverative negative self-referential thinking, is a hallmark of depression. In adults, a dynamic resting-state fMRI model of trait rumination was recently identified through predictive modelling. In adolescents, a development period during which rumination and depression increase, the neurobiological correlates of ruminative thinking are less clear. In the current preregistered study, we examine dynamic connectivity correlates of self-reported rumination in the largest sample of adolescents to date (n = 443, containing clinical and non-clinical individuals). Notably, the adult model failed to generalize to our sample. In addition, linear models trained on default-mode network (DMN) connectivity, as well as whole-brain connectome models, failed to generalize to held
