Abstract
OBJECTIVE Because of similar clinical manifestations, bipolar disorder (BD) patients are often misdiagnosed as major depressive disorder (MDD). This study aimed to compare the difference between depressed patients later converting to BD and unipolar depression (UD) according to diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). METHOD Patients with MDD (562 participants) in depressive episode states and healthy controls (HCs) (145 participants) were recruited over 10 years. Demographic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data were collected at the time of recruitment. All patients with MDD were followed up for 5 years and classified into the transfer to BD (tBD) group (83 participants) and UD group (160 participants) according to the follow-up results. DTI and functional magnetic resonance imaging at baseline were compared. RESULTS Common abnormalities were found in both tBD and UD groups, including left superior cerebellar peduncle (SCP.L), right anterior limb of the internal capsule (ALIC.R), right superior fronto-occipital fasciculus (SFOF.R), and right inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF.R). The tBD showed more extensive abnormalities than the UD in the body of corpus callosum, fornix, left superior corona radiata, left posterior corona radiata, left superior longitudinal fasciculus, and left superior fronto-occipital fasciculus. CONCLUSION The study demonstrated the common and distinct abnormalities of tBD and UD when compared to HC. The tBD group showed more extensive disruptions of white matter integrity, which could be a potential biomarker for the early identification of BD.

Emotion dysregulation in bipolar disorder compared to other mental illnesses: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Psychol Med 2023; 53:7484-7503. [PMID: 37842774 PMCID: PMC10951413 DOI: 10.1017/s003329172300243x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023]
Abstract
People with bipolar disorder (BD) often present emotion dysregulation (ED), a pattern of emotional expression interfering with goal-directed behavior. ED is a transdiagnostic construct, and it is unclear whether it manifests itself similarly in other conditions, such as major depressive disorder (MDD) or borderline personality disorder (BPD), or has specific features in BD. The present systematic review and meta-analysis explored ED and adopted emotion regulation (ER) strategies in BD compared with other psychiatric conditions. PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and PsycINFO databases were systematically searched from inception to April 28th, 2022. Studies implementing validated instruments assessing ED or ER strategies in BD and other psychiatric disorders were reviewed, and meta-analyses were conducted. Twenty-nine studies yielding multiple comparisons were included. BD was compared to MDD in 20 studies (n = 2451), to BPD in six studies (n = 1001), to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in three studies (n = 232), to anxiety disorders in two studies (n = 320), to schizophrenia in one study (n = 223), and to post-traumatic stress disorder in one study (n = 31). BD patients did not differ from MDD patients in adopting most adaptive and maladaptive ER strategies. However, small-to-moderate differences in positive rumination and risk-taking behaviors were observed. In contrast, patients with BPD presented an overall higher degree of ED and more maladaptive ER strategies. There were insufficient data for a meta-analytic comparison with other psychiatric disorders. The present report further supports the idea that ED is a transdiagnostic construct spanning a continuum across different psychiatric disorders, outlining specific clinical features that could represent potential therapeutic targets.

Common and distinct patterns of task-related neural activation abnormalities in patients with remitted and current major depressive disorder: A systematic review and coordinate-based meta-analysis. Neurosci Biobehav Rev 2023; 152:105284.

Abstract
Whether remitted major depressive disorder (rMDD) and MDD present common or distinct neuropathological mechanisms remains unclear. We performed a meta-analysis of task-related whole-brain functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) using anisotropic effect-size signed differential mapping software to compare brain activation between rMDD/MDD patients and healthy controls (HCs). We included 18 rMDD studies (458 patients and 476 HCs) and 120 MDD studies (3746 patients and 3863 HCs). The results showed that MDD and rMDD patients shared increased neural activation in the right temporal pole and right superior temporal gyrus. Several brain regions, including the right middle temporal gyrus, left inferior parietal, prefrontal cortex, left superior frontal gyrus and striatum, differed significantly between MDD and rMDD. Meta-regression analyses revealed that the percentage of females with MDD was positively associated with brain activity in the right lenticular nucleus/putamen. Our results provide valuable insights into the underlying neuropathology of brain dysfunction in MDD, developing more targeted and efficacious treatment and intervention strategies, and more importantly, providing potential neuroimaging targets for the early screening of MDD.

Abstract
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is the leading cause of long-term neurological disability in neonates and adults. Through bibliometric analysis, we analyzed the current research on HIE in various countries, institutions, and authors. At the same time, we extensively summarized the animal HIE models and modeling methods. There are various opinions on the neuroprotective treatment of HIE, and the main therapy in clinical is therapeutic hypothermia, although its efficacy remains to be investigated. Therefore, in this study, we discussed the progress of neural circuits, injured brain tissue, and neural circuits-related technologies, providing new ideas for the treatment and prognosis management of HIE with the combination of neuroendocrine and neuroprotection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bipolar disorder type-I (BD-I) patients are known to show emotion regulation abnormalities. In a previous fMRI study using an explicit emotion regulation paradigm, we compared responses from 19 BD-I patients and 17 matched healthy controls (HC). A standard general linear model-based univariate analysis revealed that BD patients showed increased activations in inferior frontal gyrus when instructed to decrease their emotional response as elicited by neutral images. We implemented multivariate pattern recognition analyses on the same data to examine if we could classify conditions within-group as well as HC versus BD. METHODS We reanalyzed explicit emotion regulation data using a multivariate pattern recognition approach, as implemented in PRONTO software. The original experimental paradigm consisted of a full 2 × 2 factorial design, with valence (Negative/Neutral) and instruction (Look/Decrease) as within subject factors. RESULTS The multivariate models were able to accurately classify different task conditions when HC and BD were analyzed separately (63.24%-75.00%, p = 0.001-0.012). In addition, the models were able to correctly classify HC versus BD with significant accuracy in conditions where subjects were instructed to downregulate their felt emotion (59.60%-60.84%, p = 0.014-0.018). The results for HC versus BD classification demonstrated contributions from the salience network, several occipital and frontal regions, inferior parietal lobes, as well as other cortical regions, to achieve above-chance classifications. CONCLUSIONS Our multivariate analysis successfully reproduced some of the main results obtained in the previous univariate analysis, confirming that these findings are not dependent on the analysis approach. In particular, both types of analyses suggest that there is a significant difference of neural patterns between conditions within each subject group. The multivariate approach also revealed that reappraisal conditions provide the most informative activity for differentiating HC versus BD, irrespective of emotional valence (negative or neutral). The current results illustrate the importance of investigating the cognitive control of emotion in BD. We also propose a set of candidate regions for further study of emotional control in BD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite homogenous clinical presentations between bipolar and unipolar disorders, there are distinct neurobiological differences. Chronicity of illness may be a factor impacting and sustaining certain neural features. The goal of this study was to investigate common and shared neural mechanisms underlying mood disorders, and possible sustained neural changes relating to illness chronicity by investigating a cohort of euthymic patients with bipolar disorder (BD), unipolar depression who had responded to treatment (treatment-sensitive depression, TSD), and a chronically treatment-resistant depressed (TRD) group. METHODS One hundred and seventy-two participants (40 BD, 39 TSD, 40 TRD, and 53 age-gender-matched healthy controls) underwent resting-state fMRI scans. Seed-based and independent component analyses were performed to investigate group differences in resting-state connectivity between the four groups. RESULTS All three clinical groups had significantly lower connectivity within the frontoparietal network (FPN) relative to controls. TRD and BD were significantly different from TSD (TRD, BD > TSD) but were not significantly different from each other. TRDs were also significantly different from both BD and TSD for salience network connectivity with the posterior cingulate (DMN) and the FPN with frontal pole (DMN). Additionally, the BD group exhibited greater DMN-FPN (sgACC-RDLPFC) connectivity relative to TRD, TSD, and controls, which was correlated with a previous number of depressive episodes, in the BD group only. CONCLUSIONS BD demonstrated shared and differential connectivity features relative to symptomatic TRD and euthymic TSD groups. The increased sgACC-RDLPFC connectivity in BD and its correlation with a number of depressive episodes could be a neural feature associated with illness chronicity.

Abstract
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a serious mental disorder involving widespread abnormal interactions between brain regions, and it is believed to be associated with imbalanced functions in the brain. However, how this brain imbalance underlies distinct BD symptoms remains poorly understood. Here, we used a nested-spectral partition (NSP) method to study the segregation, integration, and balance in resting-state brain functional networks in BD patients and healthy controls (HCs). We first confirmed that there was a high deviation in the brain functional network toward more segregation in BD patients than in HCs and that the limbic system had the largest alteration. Second, we demonstrated a network balance of segregation and integration that corresponded to lower anxiety in BD patients but was not related to other symptoms. Subsequently, based on a machine-learning approach, we identified different system-level mechanisms underlying distinct BD symptoms and found that the features related to the brain network balance could predict BD symptoms better than graph theory analyses. Finally, we studied attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in BD patients and identified specific patterns that distinctly predicted ADHD and BD scores, as well as their shared common domains. Our findings supported an association of brain imbalance with anxiety symptom in BD patients and provided a potential network signature for diagnosing BD. These results contribute to further understanding the neuropathology of BD and to screening ADHD in BD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies comparing bipolar and unipolar depression characterize pathophysiological differences between these conditions. However, it is difficult to interpret the current literature due to differences in MRI modalities, analysis methods, and study designs. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of publications using MRI to compare individuals with bipolar and unipolar depression. We grouped studies according to MRI modality and task design. Within the discussion, we critically evaluated and summarized the functional MRI research and then further complemented these findings by reviewing the structural MRI literature. RESULTS We identified 88 MRI publications comparing participants with bipolar depression and unipolar depressive disorder. Compared to individuals with unipolar depression, participants with bipolar disorder exhibited heightened function, increased within network connectivity, and reduced grey matter volume in salience and central executive network brain regions. Group differences in default mode network function were less consistent but more closely associated with depressive symptoms in participants with unipolar depression but distractibility in bipolar depression. CONCLUSIONS When comparing mood disorder groups, the neuroimaging evidence suggests that individuals with bipolar disorder are more influenced by emotional and sensory processing when responding to their environment. In contrast, depressive symptoms and neurofunctional response to emotional stimuli were more closely associated with reduced central executive function and less adaptive cognitive control of emotionally oriented brain regions in unipolar depression. Researchers now need to replicate and refine network-level trends in these heterogeneous mood disorders and further characterize MRI markers associated with early disease onset, progression, and recovery.

Default-mode and fronto-parietal network connectivity during rest distinguishes asymptomatic patients with bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder. Transl Psychiatry 2021; 11:547.

Abstract
Bipolar disorder (BD) is commonly misdiagnosed as major depressive disorder (MDD). This is understandable, as depression often precedes mania and is otherwise indistinguishable in both. It is therefore imperative to identify neural mechanisms that can differentiate the two disorders. Interrogating resting brain neural activity may reveal core distinguishing abnormalities. We adopted an a priori approach, examining three key networks documented in previous mood disorder literature subserving executive function, salience and rumination that may differentiate euthymic BD and MDD patients. Thirty-eight patients with BD, 39 patients with MDD matched for depression severity, and 39 age-gender matched healthy controls, completed resting-state fMRI scans. Seed-based and data-driven Independent Component analyses (ICA) were implemented to examine group differences in resting-state connectivity (pFDR < 0.05). Seed analysis masks were target regions identified from the fronto-parietal (FPN), salience (SN) and default-mode (DMN) networks. Seed-based analyses identified significantly greater connectivity between the subgenual cingulate cortex (DMN) and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (FPN) in BD relative to MDD and controls. The ICA analyses also found greater connectivity between the DMN and inferior frontal gyrus, an FPN region in BD relative to MDD. There were also significant group differences across the three networks in both clinical groups relative to controls. Altered DMN-FPN functional connectivity is thought to underlie deficits in the processing, management and regulation of affective stimuli. Our results suggest that connectivity between these networks could potentially distinguish the two disorders and could be a possible trait mechanism in BD persisting even in the absence of symptoms.
