Opposing Changes in the Functional Architecture of Large-Scale Networks in Bipolar Mania and Depression.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Manic and depressive phases of bipolar disorder (BD) show opposite symptoms in psychomotor, thought, and affective dimensions. Neuronally, these may depend on distinct patterns of alterations in the functional architecture of brain intrinsic activity. Therefore, the study aimed to characterize the spatial and temporal changes of resting-state activity in mania and depression, by investigating the regional homogeneity (ReHo) and degree of centrality (DC), in different frequency bands.

Methods

Using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), voxel-wise ReHo and DC were calculated-in the standard frequency band (SFB: 0.01-0.10 Hz), as well as in Slow5 (0.01-0.027 Hz) and Slow4 (0.027-0.073 Hz)-and compared between manic (n = 36), depressed (n = 43), e
