Associations of alcohol and tobacco use with psychotic, depressive and developmental disorders revealed via multimodal neuroimaging. Transl Psychiatry 2024; 14:326. [PMID: 39112461 PMCID: PMC11306356 DOI: 10.1038/s41398-024-03035-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
People affected by psychotic, depressive and developmental disorders are at a higher risk for alcohol and tobacco use. However, the further associations between alcohol/tobacco use and symptoms/cognition in these disorders remain unexplored. We identified multimodal brain networks involving alcohol use (n = 707) and tobacco use (n = 281) via supervised multimodal fusion and evaluated if these networks affected symptoms and cognition in people with psychotic (schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder/bipolar, n = 178/134/143), depressive (major depressive disorder, n = 260) and developmental (autism spectrum disorder/attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, n = 421/346) disorders. Alcohol and tobacco use scores were used as references to guide functional and structural imaging fusion to identify alcohol/tobacco use associated multimodal patterns. Correlation analyses between the extracted brain features and symptoms or cognition were performed to evaluate the relationships between alcohol/tobacco use with symptoms/cognition in 6 psychiatric disorders. Results showed that (1) the default mode network (DMN) and salience network (SN) were associated with alcohol use, whereas the DMN and fronto-limbic network (FLN) were associated with tobacco use; (2) the DMN and fronto-basal ganglia (FBG) related to alcohol/tobacco use were correlated with symptom and cognition in psychosis; (3) the middle temporal cortex related to alcohol/tobacco use was associated with cognition in depression; (4) the DMN related to alcohol/tobacco use was related to symptom, whereas the SN and limbic system (LB) were related to cognition in developmental disorders. In summary, alcohol and tobacco use were associated with structural and functional abnormalities in DMN, SN and FLN and had significant associations with cognition and symptoms in psychotic, depressive and developmental disorders likely via different brain networks. Further understanding of these relationships may assist clinicians in the development of future approaches to improve symptoms and cognition among psychotic, depressive and developmental disorders.

Abstract
Functional connectivity (FC) networks, built from analyses of resting-state magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), serve as efficacious biomarkers for identifying Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) patients. Given the neurobiological heterogeneity across individuals and the unique presentation of ASD symptoms, the fusion of individualized information into diagnosis becomes essential. However, this aspect is overlooked in most methods. Furthermore, the existing methods typically focus on studying direct pairwise connections between brain ROIs, while disregarding interactions between indirectly connected neighbors. To overcome above challenges, we build common FC and individualized FC by tangent pearson embedding (TP) and common orthogonal basis extraction (COBE) respectively, and present a novel multiview brain transformer (MBT) aimed at effectively fusing common and indivinformation of subjects. MBT is mainly constructed by transformer layers with diffusion kernel (DK), fusion quality-inspired weighting module (FQW), similarity loss and orthonormal clustering fusion readout module (OCFRead). DK transformer can incorporate higher-order random walk methods to capture wider interactions among indirectly connected brain regions. FQW promotes adaptive fusion of features between views, and similarity loss and OCFRead are placed on the last layer to accomplish the ultimate integration of information. In our method, TP, DK and FQW modules all help to model wider connectivity in the brain that make up for the shortcomings of traditional methods. We conducted experiments on the public ABIDE dataset based on AAL and CC200 respectively. Our framework has shown promising results, outperforming state-of-the-art methods on both templates. This suggests its potential as a valuable approach for clinical ASD diagnosis.

Abstract
Precision functional mapping (PFM) is a neuroimaging approach to reliably estimate metrics of brain function from individual people via the collection of large amounts of fMRI data (hours per person). This method has revealed much about the inter-individual variation of functional brain networks. While standard group-level studies, in which we average brain measures across groups of people, are important in understanding the generalizable neural underpinnings of neuropsychiatric disorders, many disorders are heterogeneous in nature. This heterogeneity often complicates clinical care, leading to patient uncertainty when considering prognosis or treatment options. We posit that PFM methods may help streamline clinical care in the future, fast-tracking the choice of personalized treatment that is most compatible with the individual. In this review, we provide a history of PFM studies, foundational results highlighting the benefits of PFM methods in the pursuit of an advanced understanding of individual differences in functional network organization, and possible avenues where PFM can contribute to clinical translation of neuroimaging research results in the way of personalized treatment in psychiatry.

Abstract
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is defined as patients diagnosed with depression having a history of failure with different antidepressants with an adequate dosage and treatment duration. The NMDA receptor antagonist ketamine rapidly reduces depressive symptoms in TRD. We examined neural correlates of treatment response to ketamine in TRD through a systematic review of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies. A comprehensive search in PubMed was performed using "ketamine AND depression AND magnetic resonance." The time span for the database queries was "Start date: 2018/01/01; End date: 2024/05/31." Total 41 original articles comprising 1,396 TRD and 587 healthy controls (HC) were included. Diagnosis of depression was made using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Disorders (SCID), the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI), and/or the clinical assessment by psychiatrists. Patients with affective psychotic disorders were excluded. Most studies applied ketamine [0.5mg/kg racemic ketamine and/or 0.25mg/kg S-ketamine] diluted in 60cc of normal saline via intravenous infusion over 40 min one time, four times, or six times spaced 2-3 days apart over 2 weeks. Clinical outcome was defined as either remission, response, and/or percentage changes of depressive symptoms. Brain MRI of the T2*-weighted imaging (resting-state or task performance), arterial spin labeling, diffusion weighted imaging, and T1-weighted imaging were acquired at baseline and mainly 1-3days after the ketamine administration. Only the study results replicated by ≥ 2 studies and were included in the default-mode, salience, fronto-parietal, subcortical, and limbic networks were regarded as meaningful. Putative brain-based markers of treatment response to ketamine in TRD were found in the structural/functional features of limbic (subgenual ACC, hippocampus, cingulum bundle-hippocampal portion; anhedonia/suicidal ideation), salience (dorsal ACC, insula, cingulum bundle-cingulate gyrus portion; thought rumination/suicidal ideation), fronto-parietal (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, superior longitudinal fasciculus; anhedonia/suicidal ideation), default-mode (posterior cingulate cortex; thought rumination), and subcortical (striatum; anhedonia/thought rumination) networks. Brain features of limbic, salience, and fronto-parietal networks could be useful in predicting the TRD with better response to ketamine in relief of anhedonia, thought rumination, and suicidal ideation.

Abstract
Treatment outcomes widely vary for individuals diagnosed with major depressive disorder, implicating a need for deeper understanding of the biological mechanisms conferring a greater likelihood of response to a particular treatment. Our improved understanding of intrinsic brain networks underlying depression psychopathology via magnetic resonance imaging and other neuroimaging modalities has helped reveal novel and potentially clinically meaningful biological markers of response. And while we have made considerable progress in identifying such biomarkers over the last decade, particularly with larger, multisite trials, there are significant methodological and practical obstacles that need to be overcome to translate these markers into the clinic. The aim of this review is to review current literature on brain network structural and functional biomarkers of treatment response or selection in depression, with a specific focus on recent large, multisite trials reporting predictive accuracy of candidate biomarkers. Regarding pharmaco- and psychotherapy, we discuss candidate biomarkers, reporting that while we have identified candidate biomarkers of response to a single intervention, we need more trials that distinguish biomarkers between first-line treatments. Further, we discuss the ways prognostic neuroimaging may help to improve treatment outcomes to neuromodulation-based therapies, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation and deep brain stimulation. Lastly, we highlight obstacles and technical developments that may help to address the knowledge gaps in this area of research. Ultimately, integrating neuroimaging-derived biomarkers into clinical practice holds promise for enhancing treatment outcomes and advancing precision psychiatry strategies for depression management. By elucidating the neural predictors of treatment response and selection, we can move towards more individualized and effective depression interventions, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

Abstract
Recent advances in open neuroimaging data are enhancing our comprehension of neuropsychiatric disorders. By pooling images from various cohorts, statistical power has increased, enabling the detection of subtle abnormalities and robust associations, and fostering new research methods. Global collaborations in imaging have furthered our knowledge of the neurobiological foundations of brain disorders and aided in imaging-based prediction for more targeted treatment. Large-scale magnetic resonance imaging initiatives are driving innovation in analytics and supporting generalizable psychiatric studies. We also emphasize the significant role of big data in understanding neural mechanisms and in the early identification and precise treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders. However, challenges such as data harmonization across different sites, privacy protection, and effective data sharing must be addressed. With proper governance and open science practices, we conclude with a projection of how large-scale imaging resources and collaborations could revolutionize diagnosis, treatment selection, and outcome prediction, contributing to optimal brain health.

Abstract
Disruption in reciprocal connectivity between the right anterior insula and the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is associated with depression and may be a target for neuromodulation. In a five-center, parallel, double-blind, randomized controlled trial we personalized resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging neuronavigated connectivity-guided intermittent theta burst stimulation (cgiTBS) at a site based on effective connectivity from the right anterior insula to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. We tested its efficacy in reducing the primary outcome depression symptoms measured by the GRID Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 17-item over 8, 16 and 26 weeks, compared with structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) neuronavigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) delivered at the standard stimulation site (F3) in patients with 'treatment-resistant depression'. Participants were randomly assigned to 20 sessions over 4-6 weeks of either cgiTBS (n = 128) or rTMS (n = 127) with resting-state functional MRI at baseline and 16 weeks. Persistent decreases in depressive symptoms were seen over 26 weeks, with no differences between arms on the primary outcome GRID Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 17-item score (intention-to-treat adjusted mean, -0.31, 95% confidence interval (CI) -1.87, 1.24, P = 0.689). Two serious adverse events were possibly related to TMS (mania and psychosis). MRI-neuronavigated cgiTBS and rTMS were equally effective in patients with treatment-resistant depression over 26 weeks (trial registration no. ISRCTN19674644).

Abstract
Importance Understanding the mechanisms of major depressive disorder (MDD) improvement is a key challenge to determine effective personalized treatments. Objective To perform a secondary analysis quantifying neural-to-symptom relationships in MDD as a function of antidepressant treatment. Design Double blind randomized controlled trial. Setting Multicenter. Participants Patients with early onset recurrent depression from the public Establishing Moderators and Biosignatures of Antidepressant Response in Clinical Care (EMBARC) study. Interventions Either sertraline or placebo during 8 weeks (stage 1), and according to response a second line of treatment for 8 additional weeks (stage 2). Main Outcomes and Measures To identify a data-driven pattern of symptom variations during these two stages, we performed a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on the variations of individual items of four clinical scales measuring depression, anxiety, suicidal ideas and manic-like symptoms, resulting in a univariate measure of clinical improvement. We then investigated how initial clinical and neural factors predicted this measure during stage 1. To do so, we extracted resting-state global brain connectivity (GBC) at baseline at the individual level using a whole-brain functional network parcellation. In turn, we computed a linear model for each brain parcel with individual data-driven clinical improvement scores during stage 1 for each group. Results 192 patients (127 women), age 37.7 years old (standard deviation: 13.5), were included. The first PC (PC1) capturing 20% of clinical variation was similar across treatment groups at stage 1 and stage 2, suggesting a reproducible pattern of symptom improvement. PC1 patients' scores significantly differed according to treatment during stage 1, whereas no difference of response was evidenced between groups with the Clinical Global Impressions (CGI). Baseline GBC correlated to stage 1 PC1 scores in the sertraline, but not in the placebo group. Conclusions and Relevance Using data-driven reduction of symptoms scales, we identified a common profile of symptom improvement across placebo and sertraline. However, the neural patterns of baseline that mapped onto symptom improvement distinguished between treatment and placebo. Our results underscore that mapping from data-driven symptom improvement onto neural circuits is vital to detect treatment-responsive neural profiles that may aid in optimal patient selection for future trials.
