Similar imaging changes and their relations to genetic profiles in bipolar disorder across different clinical stages.
Psychiatry Research 2024 March 28
Bipolar disorder (BD) across different clinical stages may present shared and distinct changes in brain activity. We aimed to reveal the neuroimaging homogeneity and heterogeneity of BD and its relationship with clinical variables and genetic variations. In present study, we conducted fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF), functional connectivity (FC) and genetic neuroimaging association analyses with 32 depressed, 26 manic, 35 euthymic BD patients and 87 healthy controls (HCs). Significant differences were found in the bilateral pre/subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) across the four groups, and all bipolar patients exhibited decreased fALFF values in the ACC when compared to HCs. Furthermore, positive associations were significantly observed between fALFF values in the pre/subgenual ACC and participants' cognitive functioning. No significant changes were found in ACC-based FC. We identified fALFF-alteration-related genes in BD, with enrichment in biological progress including synaptic and ion transmission. Taken together, abnormal activity in ACC is a characteristic change associated with BD, regardless of specific mood stages, serving as a potential neuroimaging feature in BD patients. Our genetic neuroimaging association analysis highlights possible heterogeneity in biological processes that could be responsible for different clinical stages in BD.
