AbstractDynamic functional connectivity (DFC) analysis can capture time-varying properties of connectivity and may provide further information about transdiagnostic psychopathology across major psychiatric disorders. In this study, we used resting state functional MRI and a sliding-window method to study DFC in 150 schizophrenia (SZ), 100 bipolar disorder(BD), 150 major depressive disorder (MDD), and 210 healthy controls (HC). DFC were clustered into two functional connectivity states. Significant 4-group differences in DFC were found only in state 2. Post hoc analyses showed that transdiagnostic dysconnectivity among there disorders featured decreased connectivity within visual, somatomotor, salience and frontoparietal networks. Our results suggest that decreased connectivity within both lower-order (visual and somatomotor) and higher-order (salience and frontoparietal) networks may serve as transdiagnostic marker of these disorders, and that these dysconnectivity is state-dependent. Targeting these dysconnectivity may improve assessment and treatment for patients that having more than one of these disorders at the same time.

Investigating the neurobiological mechanism of suicidal ideation (SI) in major depressive disorder (MDD) may be beneficial to prevent the suicidal behavior. Mounting evidence showed that habenula contributed to the etiology of MDD. The habenula is a key brain region that links the forebrain to midbrain, crucial for the processing of reward and aversion. The aim of the present study was to identify whether first-episode, drug-naive MDD patients with SI displayed altered habenula neural circuitry. Forty-three and 38 drug-naïve patients with first-episode MDD with or without SI (SI+/– group) and 35 healthy control subjects (HC) underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. The whole-brain habenula static (sFC) and dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) were calculated to identify regions showing significant difference among these three groups followed by region of interest to region of interest post hoc analysis. For sFC, compared with SI– and HC groups, SI+ group showed decreased sFC from habenula to the precuneus and the inferior frontal gyrus. Patients with MDD displayed increased sFC from habenula to the putamen but decreased sFC to the precentral gyrus. For dFC, SI+ group showed increased dFC from habenula to the superior temporal gyrus, the precuneus, but decreased dFC to the lingual gyrus, the postcentral gyrus, when comparing with SI– and HC groups. Patients with MDD, regardless of SI, displayed decreased dFC from the habenula to the angular gyrus. These findings provide evidence that SI in first-episode, drug-naïve patients with MDD may be related to an abnormality in habenula neural circuitry, which may provide the theoretical basis of novel treatments.
